It’s that time of year in the Deep South when the thermometer surpasses, or at least threatens, more than 100 degree temps. When humidity seems to do the same, the days are super long and the nights are as thick as ice cream.

Here at NWTF headquarters, we’ve just gone through a couple of weeks of planning meetings for the coming year. Our staff was in town for nearly a week and we worked together to find how we can make our volunteers’ dollars go the furthest in the coming year, and how to make more dollars next year so we can improve as much habitat and do as many outreach events as possible.

All the while, there is a four-day gathering of North America’s most dedicated conservationists that has to be addressed. Last February, the NWTF welcomed over 45,000 people who care about conservation for its National Convention and Sport Show at the beautiful Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center in Nashville, Tenn. We want to make this year’s event even more entertaining and try to beat last year’s record attendance.

I’d like to know what you think about our National Convention. If you’ve never been, let me know why and what it would take to get you to come for the show. We really try to give our attendees the best show possible, but we can’t do that without some feedback from YOU.

Drop me a line and let me know. I’d love to hear from you.

Have a great summer and stay cool

Brian
