  1. Focal Areas The Future of NWTF Conservation Delivery

  2. History of NWTF Conservation Delivery • Super Fund • Proposal driven • Largely opportunistic • Trap and Transfer • Focused on raising money to move wild turkeys • Regional Habitat Programs • National projects funds divvied out to states • Regional Initiatives • Focused on the needs of partners • Largely funded by grants

  3. A More Focused Future • Focal Regions • Very large areas based on ecosystems, bird conservation regions, etc. • Aligned with other National planning efforts, will serve as functional initiative areas for NWTF landscape scale efforts

  4. Even More Focus • Focal Landscapes • Large important areas defined by biological, cultural or geographic factors, not confined by state boundaries • These areas will serve as the basis for regional conservation delivery initiatives, directed fundraising campaigns and brand awareness tools

  5. Where the Rubber Hits the Road! Focal Areas 5,000 - 50,000 acres in size Addressing specific habitat needs for wild turkeys Will serve as primary conservation delivery, fundraising leverage and local marketing destinations

  6. So What’s Next? Identify focal landscapes and state specific focal areas through state strategic planning process Provide a tremendous opportunity for directed fundraising campaigns Formalize the NWTF role locally, statewide and regionally Provide volunteers and staff something to promote, brand and market on a grassroots level Strategically aligns us to garner large private sponsorships, grants, endowments and gifts for specific habitat delivery

  7. What is your role as a volunteer? Engage in the state planning process Be familiar with the habitat work going on in your areas Promote the work we do and focus on WHY it is so important for wild turkeys, upland wildlife, hunters, fishermen and in many cases water quality and human lives Be creative and lead the effort to raise money specific to our urgent habitat needs
