About TWAF
Texas Wildlife Association Foundation
In 1991, the Texas Wildlife Association Foundation, Inc. (TWAF) was formed as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, dedicated to providing ethical environmental education about wildlife and habitat conservation to Texans of all ages.
TWAF is organized exclusively for charitable, scientific, and educational purposes, including to foster an appreciation in the young and old, urban and rural, of the biological, aesthetic, recreational, and economic values of native wildlife in its habitat, especially on private property. TWAF promotes educational, research, and informational activities in support of wildlife, habitat, and the management of the same.
TWAF 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 95% of Texas is privately-owned. 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 initiatives, such as:
* Conservation Legacy education programs through Learning Across New Dimensions in Science (L.A.N.D.S.) for Youth education, Wildlife Management Education for adult education, and other Special Events;
* Texas Big Game Awards;
* Texas Youth Hunting Program;
* Wildlife Research Grants;
* Scholarship Programs;
* Projects of groups with philosophical compatibility;
* Support of Conservation Initiatives
