The NWTF is dedicated to the conservation of the wild turkey and the preservation of our hunting heritage.
关于我们
In 1973, the National Wild Turkey Federation was founded in Fredericksburg, Va., as a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit conservation and education organization with a mission dedicated to conservation of the wild turkey and preservation of our hunting heritage. Shortly thereafter the NWTF relocated to Edgefield, S.C., where it's still headquartered today. At the time the NWTF was established, there were only 1.3 million wild turkeys. Today that number stands at more than 6.2 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 more than 230,000 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 $500 million upholding hunting traditions and conserving more than 23 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.

The National Wild Turkey Federation extends its appreciation to the bipartisan group of leaders who sponsored the Voluntary Public Access Improvement Act in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. Representatives Debbie Dingell (D-MI) and Dusty Johnson (R-SD), along with Senators Steve Daines (R-MT), Michael Bennet (D-CO), and Roger Marshall (R-CO), have shown strong leadership in introducing this legislation that aims to boost funding for public access to hunting lands.

Dedicated to enhancing wild turkey habitat and improving forest health across the state, the Illinois NWTF State Chapter is actively supporting conservation efforts through numerous collaborative projects with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. A key focus of conservation efforts has been the battle against invasive plant species, such as bush honeysuckle. This aggressive shrub outcompetes native vegetation, altering the forest’s natural structure and limiting essential resources for wildlife. Building on its commitment to habitat restoration, the Illinois NWTF State Chapter recently supported a project in Hidden Springs State Forest in partnership with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
