Statewide Conservation Committee

What is Statewide Conservation Committee?

The SOTW Statewide Conservation Committee (SCC) is a volunteer-led group that supports SOTW by way of bolstering the conservation education aspect of the program. The committee will provide educational resources and events, and regional project information to SOTW members, with additional support from Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation (TPWF) staff.

Committee Breakdown:

The committee is made up of five subcommittees: Legislative, Private Lands, Game Species, Native Habitats, and Coastal. Each subcommittee is overseen by two co-chairs. Each committee member will serve a two-year term.

Committee Member Expectations:

Each year, the full SCC assists TPWF staff with planning two events open to all SOTW members. Additionally, each subcommittee is responsible for planning one event open to all SOTW members each year. Each subcommittee will also work to develop content ideas for bi-annual newsletters sent to SOTW members.

Committee Perks:

Members of the SCC have the opportunity to participate in full committee discussions across the state and bolster their conservation knowledge. They will have priority access to Committee events, such as the West Texas Weekend in the Trans-Pecos or the South Texas Trip, and access to other exclusive TPWF events.

Periodically, we will need to add members to the SCC. If you are interested in joining the Committee, please use the link below to fill out the SCC Interest Form and we will reach out to you.
