President's Message

Welcome to the PA NWTF State Chapter web site. Please take the time to look around and take advantage of all the information available to you for your use. Everything you want or need to know about the PA NWTF can be found here.

The PA State chapter recently held its annual Rendezvous in State College PA.  The Rendezvous was well attended by nearly 200 PA NWTF members. The banquet attendees had an opportunity to get a sneak peak at some of the 2012 banquet core package items. They also had an opportunity to take part in raffles, auctions, enjoyed a great meal, fun and fellowship with other NWTF members from across the state. For those of you that could not make it this year mark January 5th on your calendar to attend the 2013 State Chapter Rendezvous.

The State Chapter Habitat Committee met this past January and held their annual habitat superfund project meeting. I am happy to report that the committee was able to fund at least one project for every chapter that submitted a habitat funding request. Thanks to all the hard work and fund raising efforts from the local chapters across the state,  the PA NWTF will spend roughly 140,000.00 dollars on habitat enhancement in 2012.

This is a great time to plan to attend a local NWTF Hunting Heritage Banquet in your area. You can find a banquet near you right here on this web site. Support your local chapter in the area by attending their Hunting Heritage Banquet. It's always a fun filled evening and with it being held by the NWTF, you know your hard earned money will be going to a great cause.

With Spring just around the corner now is a good time to start getting prepared for the 2012 Spring Gobbler Season. Dig that turkey vest out of the closet and make sure all your calls and accessories are in good working order for opening day. It is also a good time to get out your turkey gun to pattern it and make sure it is in good working condition before the big day.

Thank you for being a member of the greatest conservation organization in America!

Yours in Conservation, 

Skip Motts,
PA State Chapter President
