The conservation of
the wild turkey and the preservation of the turkey hunting tradition
|
Welcome to the Kentucky NWTF Website...
|
About the NWTF
In 1973, Tom Rodgers
founded the National Wild Turkey Federation in
Fredericksburg, Va., as a national 501(c)(3)
nonprofit conservation and education organization
with a mission dedicated to conserving wild turkeys
and preserving hunting traditions. Shortly
thereafter, Rodgers relocated the NWTF to Edgefield,
S.C., where it's still headquartered today.
At the time NWTF was established,
there were only 1.3 million wild turkeys. Today that
number stands at more than seven million birds
throughout North America, thanks to the efforts of
state, federal and provincial wildlife agencies, the
NWTF and its members and partners.
Growth and progress define the
NWTF as it has expanded from 1,300 members in 1973
to nearly a half million today. With that growth has
come impressive strides in wildlife management as
the NWTF has forged dynamic partnerships across the
country to further its conservation mission.
Together, the NWTF's partners, sponsors and
grassroots members have raised and spent more than
$279 million upholding hunting traditions and
conserving more than 13.9 million acres of wildlife
habitat.
While wild turkey restoration is
nearing completion, the NWTF still has much work to
do. Across North America, supporters are working to
enhance habitat for wild turkeys and other wildlife
while providing hunters with more opportunities and
access to public and private land. In addition, NWTF
volunteers and partners are introducing youth, women
and people with disabilities to the outdoors through
special educational events. |
