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 South Carolina.

  • 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.

South Carolina is part of America’s Southern Piney Woods and America’s Mid-South Rebirth in the NWTF’s America’s Big Six of Wildlife Conservation. NWTF South Carolina is committed to stop habitat loss, improve forest management, increase habitat diversity, improve water quality and maintain healthy hardwood forests.
