About us

Founded in 1936, the Idaho Wildlife Federation is Idaho’s oldest and largest statewide conservation organization promoting the conservation of Idaho’s wildlife heritage and legacy of sporting opportunities. IWF quickly became the state’s leading voice and influence to curtail decline and rebound game and wildlife populations. Two years after our founding, IWF successfully campaigned for the passage of the Citizen’s Initiative of 1938, establishing an independent commission to guide wildlife management by the North American Model. Through the shared goals of our affiliate clubs, we sought out to return habitat and wildlife through ecologic restoration, education, and policy change. Today, the Idaho Wildlife Federation is the voice of Idaho’s wildlife, habitat, public lands and sporting interests. In the state legislature we serve a daily presence to advance proactive legislation for the benefit of wildlife and access, and defeat bills that would roll back fish and wildlife protections, privatize wildlife, and seize our shared public lands for sale or special interest exploitation. We also engage communities by involving local constituents to create local solutions. By coordinating boots on the ground grassroots efforts, IWF fosters and promotes a general and continued movement for the conservation, restoration, protection, and scientific supervision of all game, fish, fowl, and other wildlife in the state.

  • In a new series we’re calling “You Asked:...” IWF is shining a light on the processes, protocols, regulations and designations crucial to your hunting, fishing and public lands traditions that IWF works on day-in and day-out. Next time you’re out hunting and take a look at a trail on OnX maps that says “open to foot/horse travel” or “open to 2-wheel motorized,” take a second to understand that each road and trail designation was considered using public feedback. It takes people like you who know the landscape to speak up for areas you care about and how you want to see off-road travel managed into the future. Have you ever wondered, “What’s A …”? Let us know. Maybe we’ll cover it next.
