Edgefield, SC (January 09, 2009)—Fine art sculptor, Alan Derrick, has teamed with Quail Unlimited to raise money for wild bird conservation. A one-of-a-kind sculpture depicting a bobwhite quail feather is being created to be auctioned with proceeds benefiting quail conservation.
Quail Unlimited, Inc. is a nonprofit conservation organization dedicated to the wise use and management of America’s wild quail, doves, upland game birds and other forms of wildlife. “We welcome Alan as a conservation partner and anxiously anticipate the results of the upcoming auction,” said Donnie Buckland, QU Senior Vice President. “We appreciate Alan selecting Quail Unlimited as one of the organizations to benefit from his commitment to charitable organizations.” Visit www.qu.org for quail conservation details.
"After a recent trip to Brazil, I came home with a renewed desire to support a few of the many organizations who are responsible for the preservation of the birding population,” commented Alan Derrick. “Without the efforts of organizations like Quail Unlimited, many of our bird populations would soon be extinct. My work is a commemorative testimony to these great causes that insure the natural beauty of the common bird feather.”
The auction will be held online on eBay, listed under “Art, Direct from Artist, Sculptures” and ending on April 5th at 9:00pm EST.
