What impact has the NWTF made in Alabama?

The NWTF has been a leading force for wildlife conservation and the preservation of our hunting heritage in Alabama. Every chapter banquet directly fuels that mission — funds raised through membership and ticket sales support habitat projects, hunter education, and conservation programs that keep our wild turkey populations thriving for generations to come. Your attendance makes all the difference.

Through strategic habitat management, prescribed fire programs, and land stewardship partnerships, the NWTF has positively impacted 145,112 acres across Alabama. These efforts directly improve nesting and brooding habitat for wild turkey populations, while supporting the broader ecosystem health that sustains hunters, wildlife, and future generations.

The NWTF's membership in Alabama represents a passionate community of hunters, conservationists, and outdoor enthusiasts united by a common mission. With 11,344 adult members and 569 JAKES members, each individual plays a vital role in funding habitat projects, advocating for hunting rights, and inspiring the next generation to carry the torch of conservation.

The purpose of this 10-year initiative is to improve wild turkey nesting and brood-rearing habitat at a landscape scale in the Southeastern states through active management of over 1 million acres by 2033. This will ultimately lead to more robust wild turkey populations and healthier ecosystems across the Southeast.
