Welcome to the Washington Wildlife Federation (WWF), the Washington state affiliate of the National Wildlife Federation. We're an organization of conservation-minded hunters, anglers, and other outdoor enthusiasts who are working for healthy habitats and public access. We believe outdoor recreation is one of the best ways for people to learn first-hand about Washington's natural resources, so we sponsor programs that teach outdoor skills such as Washington Outdoor Women.
WWF also works for strong populations of fish and wildlife, ethical hunting and fishing, and a greater understanding of conservation, wildlife, and wildlife habitat management. Members of WWF actively support good stewardship of Washington's fish and wildlife, so that future generations can participate in outdoor activities we have enjoyed.
