Missouri State Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation

Our state chapter and the local chapters of which it is comprised are dedicated to the conservation of the wild turkey in Missouri and the preservation of our hunting heritage. To that end, each local chapter holds an annual fund-raising event, called a Hunting Heritage banquet, to raise money and to increase membership.

The Missouri Board hopes you find this web site informative & interesting. Most importantly we hope you choose to become an active member within the Missouri NWTF flock. 

What is the NWTF?

The NWTF — a national nonprofit organization — is the leader in upland wildlife habitat conservation in North America.

Founded in 1973, the NWTF is headquartered in Edgefield, S.C., and has local chapters in every state.

The NWTF is dedicated to the conservation of the wild turkey and the preservation of our hunting heritage.

Through vital partnerships with state, federal and provincial wildlife agencies, the NWTF and our members have helped restore wild turkey populations throughout North America — from a mere 30,000 in the entire United States to more than 7 million across the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The NWTF Launches New Landscape Scale Conservation Initiative

Conservation Delivery is Expanding in the Midwest
Turkeys need proper habitat to prosper and grow.
When managed correctly, habitat benefits wild turkeys,
pollinators, and many wildlife species, including those
that are threatened or endangered. Well-managed
habitat also improves water quality and quantity, provides
communities with resiliency against wildfires and allows
everyone to have a positive experience in nature.
Because this work is extensive and ongoing, it requires
sustainable funding and collaboration. With this in mind,
the NWTF has launched the Roots to Roost landscapescale
habitat initiative to combat negative changes to
landscapes across the Midwest. This initiative unites
people, companies, and agencies with the common goal,
to leave the earth better than we found it.
