About Us

Who We Are

Rooted in Conservation, Driven by Community

The Inland Northwest Wildlife Council is a volunteer-driven nonprofit dedicated to protecting, preserving, and enhancing wildlife and their habitats for future generations. Since 1951, we’ve brought together people who share a passion for the outdoors—sportsmen, families, educators, and conservationists alike—working side by side on hands-on projects that make a real impact across our region.

We believe that lasting conservation starts at the community level. Whether we’re restoring habitat, teaching kids to fish, improving public access, or advocating for sound wildlife management, our mission is rooted in education, stewardship, and action. Through programs, events, and initiatives like the Big Horn Outdoor Adventure Show, we aim to inspire a deeper connection to nature and encourage responsible recreation.

Our board and officers represent a broad range of experience, united by a shared commitment to preserving the natural heritage of the Inland Northwest. Together, we invite you to get involved, stay informed, and help us ensure that the wild places we cherish remain healthy and accessible for generations to come.
