About Us

We, along with our partners in conservation, actively manage our precious natural resources for our kids and grandkids and for the future of the wild turkey and all wildlife in Minnesota.

  • We recruit all kinds of hunters through our hunter education programs and mentored hunts. We support public hunting access through lease programs. We address legislative issues that impact hunter access and we work with landowners to provide greater access for hunting.
  • We embrace all outdoor enthusiasts of any age and encourage anyone to become a member of our growing family. We believe in knowing where our food comes from and we value what we eat. We work tirelessly to preserve our precious natural resources for all, especially our kids, our grand kids and generations to come.
  • We believe the outdoors is for everyone to enjoy.

Minnesota is part of America’s Crossroads in the NWTF’s America’s Big Six of Wildlife Conservation. NWTF Minnesota is committed to improve water quality and forest health and restore grasslands.
