Quail, Cannons, and Conservation

You are cordially invited to attend Quail, Cannons, and Conservation at Perryville Battlefield State Park. This event will showcase the habitat work completed over the past year on the Park, converting over 700 acres of fescue hay and pasture land into native quail habitat. Come out and celebrate this native short-grass landscape, which is virtually the same as what soldiers laid eyes on during The Battle of Perryville in the fall of 1862.
