As one of the most ecologically diverse states in the nation, it is essential that Oklahomans of every walk of life collaborate to conserve our state’s unique wild spaces and strong outdoor traditions.
Working Together for Conservation
A Shared Purpose
The Foundation is the non-profit organization formed to work exclusively alongside and provide support for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC). It provides citizens an outlet to show their passion for the outdoors by investing their time and money in projects that will make a difference for generations to come.
A Common Passion
The goal is to look for opportunities where the Foundation can partner with the ODWC to leverage resources, doing more together than could ever be done alone. A few examples of special projects the Foundation is interested in funding are:
- Stream Rehabilitation
- Public Land Acquisition
- Wetland Development
- Big Game Herd Health Studies
- Gun Range Development & Renovation
- Upland Game Bird Habitat Restoration
The Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Foundation was formed in 2018 to encourage private support to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. The Foundation’s vision is to enable all outdoor enthusiasts to actively enjoy our state’s wildlife and wild spaces.
