Dear Stewards,
As 2024 comes to a close, we extend our sincere thanks to you for supporting Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation and furthering the mission of our incredible Stewards of the Wild program. Thank you to...
Our SOTW Members: Our primary focus is on our members and your membership experience. After all, we are looking to you to become the next conservation leaders in Texas. Thank you to all ~800 of you for continuing to participate in the program. We hope to bring you even more value and educational opportunities in 2025 through our Statewide Conservation Committee. Keep an eye out for new opportunities beginning in January!
Chapter Co-Chairs & Advisory Council Members: Every local SOTW chapter is led by volunteer co-chairs and advisory council members. These volunteers dedicate many hours each year as our boots on the ground, hosting events, planning and executing service days, bringing in conservation experts to speak and teach, and spreading the word about TPWF's vital conservation projects and programs. To all the co-chairs and AC members, we greatly appreciate your dedication to the program and more importantly, conserving our wild things and wild places for generations to come.
Our Board Fellows: Our Board Fellows Initiative allows stand-out SOTW leaders to participate as non-voting members of the TPWF board. While this is an incredible opportunity for those individuals, it is also a huge benefit to the local chapters. Our board fellows serve as conduits between the TPWF board and local chapters, allowing chapter leadership to stay informed and make decisions aligned with TPWF's priorities. Thank you for your time and dedication, Riley, Tallon, and Jonathan.
Generous Landowners: Because Texas land is more than 95% privately owned, many of our events, including hunts within our Mentored Hunting Initiative, would not be possible without generous landowners who allow us access to their beautiful properties across the state. Thank you for opening your gates to us.
Conservation Leaders & Experts: We look to you to learn about conservation-related current events, pressing issues, and why it's important we protect our wild things and wild places. Thank you for your critical work and all the time you dedicate traveling to our events and speaking to our members.
Friends of the Program: A unique and expansive program, SOTW requires support from other conservation organizations, brand sponsors, and partners to operate. Thank you to our numerous local chapter supporters and friends of our statewide program, including:
