The Indiana Wildlife Federation promotes the conservation, sound management, and sustainable use of Indiana's wildlife and wildlife habitat through education, advocacy, and action. The Indiana Wildlife Federation has played a part in conserving Indiana's natural resources for over half a century. As the nonprofit, grass-roots affiliate of the National Wildlife Federation, IWF works to promote the wise use of our renewable resources through educational programs like National Wildlife Week and the Backyard Wildlife Habitat. The Indiana Wildlife Federation works with state agencies and other similar organizations to monitor Indiana's wildlife and habitats, including Hoosier lakes and rivers, air, and soil. We pay particular attention to legislation that affects Indiana's sportsmen and women, wildlife watchers, and conservationists, and of course our state's wildlife and wildlife habitat. The Indiana Wildlife Federation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors representing all parts of the state. Our diverse membership consists of local conservation organizations, individuals, corporations, and businesses. People like you, who care about our environment for future generations of Hoosiers, comprise the membership of the Indiana Wildlife Federation.
