Wisconsin Wildlife Federation

Wisconsin Wildlife Federation The Wisconsin Wildlife Federation is made up of hunters, anglers, trappers and others that are actively engaged in the outdoors.

The Wisconsin Wildlife Federation is a conservation group made up of hunters, anglers, trappers and other individuals that are actively engaged in the outdoors. We deeply appreciate Wisconsin's wildlife and recognize the importance of protecting fish and wildlife habitat. We understand that the long-term sustainability of fish and wildlife populations depends upon clean water, clean air and health

y forests and grasslands. The Federation is dedicated to the future of hunting, fishing, trapping and the shooting sports. We carry out these goals through conservation education and the advancement of sound policies on a state and federal level. The Wisconsin Wildlife Federation was formed by sportsmen and women in 1949. Historically we have been a strong leader in conservation through our work with sports clubs, citizen volunteers and policy makers. Together, we work to assure that Wisconsin's outdoor heritage will be available for our children and grandchildren.

Join Gathering Waters on Thursday, July 2 at 6 pm for a magical butterfly release event to celebrate the launch of 2026 Wisconsin Land Trust Days!

Each attendee will have the chance to release their very own Painted Lady butterfly. As these beautiful creatures take wing, so does a season packed with adventures across Wisconsin’s prairies, forests, wetlands, and waters.

Butterfly inspired treats will be available for all to enjoy after the butterflies fly off.

We hope you join us and gather with others in the conservation community for this Land Trust Days kick-off event!

Many wildlife rescues across the state could use help! We encourage people to help if they are able.

If you have any old sheets blankets or towels you could donate, we could use them. We experienced an almost 120% increase in patient admissions this spring and our stock piles are almost depleted.

We can’t use fitted sheets, pillows or items that are torn, contaminated, or that smell like cigarette smoke.

Thank you!
