Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Animals, Environment, Environmental Education, Food, Land Resources Conservation, Wildlife Preservation & Protection
Mission: Texas wildlife association foundation, inc (twaf) increases natural resource literacy and promotes conservation and educational programs that connect texans to the land. Tawf collaborates with many groups, non-profit organizations and government agencies (such as texas parks and wildlife department and the texas wildlife association) that are dedicated to wildlife education. Through these collaborations, twaf can focus on the importance of private land in wildlife and habitat conservation. Almost 97% of texas is privately owned, so to truly affect wildlife and habitat management as well as to accurately educate our youth and adults about texas conservation, we must emphasize wildlife and private land management. Through these partnerships, twaf has used its resources to support education initiatves, such as: *conservation legacy education programs: learning across new dimensons in science (lands) and other youth education programs, wildlife management education and related special event
Programs: Twaf promotes educational, research, and informational activities in support of wildlife, habitat, and the management of the same. The activities and programs include science curriculum for middle school students, leadership camps, youth hunting opportunities, teacher training and adult education seminars, most of which are conducted by the texas wildlife association. Twaf provides grants for natural resource literacy, private lands stewardship and education, wildlife management and research, and provide scholarships for educational purposes.
