ODWC and Quail Forever biologists partner every year to conduct thousands of acres of prescribed burns on OLAP Walk-in Areas. This management practice reduces Eastern Red Cedar encroachment and improves the quality of wildlife habitat.

Click here to find your local Quail Forever chapter, view events, and get involved to make a difference for upland birds.

Remember to click on walk-in areas to bring up more information, including access types, dates, habitat information, specific comments/instructions, and photos. This function is available when accessing maps on a computer or via the mobile app (ArcGIS Field Maps).

Review the maps before entering the walk-in area. Get a good feel for the property boundaries, topography, changes in land use (farming or ranching), etc.

Boundaries may consist of a change from grassland to agriculture, a mowed strip, etc. Some walk-in areas may not have fences for OLAP boundary signs, and it's the responsibility of hunters to know their location and the walk-in area's boundaries.

Use the free ArcGIS Field Maps app to bring the OLAP Walk-in Areas to your mobile device (data signal required). Once the app is installed on your device, search the Maps for "OLAP" and select "ODWC OLAP Web Map 2022-2023".
