What impact has the NWTF made in Pennsylvania?

The NWTF has been a leading force for wildlife conservation and the preservation of our hunting heritage in Pennsylvania. 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 1,510 acres across Pennsylvania. 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 Pennsylvania represents a passionate community of hunters, conservationists, and outdoor enthusiasts united by a common mission. With 16,280 adult members and 1,580 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.

Forests and Flocks will improve 100,000 acres over 10 years in Northeastern states through habitat management and support of research to increase the effectiveness of NWTF conservation work. Additionally, this campaign will work to boost recruitment, retention and reactivation of hunters, elevating the NWTF as a champion for hunter advocacy.
