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.
What WWA Members Learn
Waterfowl hunters typically progress through identifiable stages. First, they set about acquiring the knowledge and skills needed to successfully harvest ducks and geese. They grow to become advocates for the wetlands and policies that support their outdoor passion. And finally, they seek to ensure future generations can benefit from similar outdoor experiences. The WWA is there for waterfowlers every step of the way.
The Wisconsin Conservation Hall of Fame is excited to welcome the WWA voice on our Board of Directors!
