TWRF needs your Support!

Who are We?
The Tennessee Wildlife Resource Foundation is up and running and eager to have you outdoor enthusiasts on board! Organized late in 1999, the TWRF was created to encourage a greater awareness of and impliment programs for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency through activities dedicated to conservation, protection, and restoration of Tennessee’s wildlife, fisheries and their habitat

Why Do Tennessee enthusiasts need a Wildlife Foundation?
Historically the TWRA has been funded by the revenue derived from the sale of hunting and fishing licenses, permits, exercise taxes on hunting and fishing equipment and boat registration fees. These traditional sources, however, can no longer meet the increased demand placed on Tennessee’s wildlife and boating resources.
By developing creative ways to inform and educate the public about the values and benefits of wildlife conservation and recreation by providing a mechanism for them to financially support these activities, the Foundation will increase support for wildlife and boating programs statewide.

How is the Foundation organized?
As a private, non-profit organization, the Foundation is composed of a unpaid 10- member board that includes the Executive Director of the TWRA and a representative from the Wildlife Commission.
How will the Foundation raise money?
The Foundation is raising its funds by soliciting gifts from concerned individuals and corporations, accepting donations, grants, contracts, bequests, and other appropriate activities.

How will the money be spent?
•Acquiring land important to wildlife management across the state
•Wildlife Education Programs - targeting youth, women, non-traditional groups.
•Funding special wildlife start-up and restoration programs e.g. elk reintroduction,
qqFlorida bass, quail and pheasant programs.
•Wildlife and fisheries research
•Establishing Internships in wildlife education programs at major universities.
•Developing programs to encourage volunteers for conservation and cleanup programs
•Establishing “Outdoor and Conservation Experience Weekends” facilitating unexpected opportunities
qq that may arise
