The Wisconsin Waterfowl Association (WWA) will be the Wisconsin Conservation Hall of Fame’s 35th organizational member.

The 7500-member WWA was established in 1984 to support waterfowl hunters in all aspects of this trajectory. Through its statewide network of volunteer chapters and with its small staff and volunteer board, it fulfills three missions:
(1) Restoring hydrology to disrupted or impaired wetlands wetlands;
(2) Advocating in legislative and policy issues important to waterfowling; and
(3) Educating both novice and experienced waterfowlers on all things waterfowl.

In its 36-year history, the WWA has restored over 15,000 acres of wetlands, educated tens of thousands of waterfowlers, and enjoyed a track record of successful representation on issues important to the state’s 60,000 waterfowlers.
