SEPTEMBER 6-7

More than the Hunt

Today and in years to come, it is critical to engage Texans from all walks of life in conservation education and outdoor experiences, not only for the health of Texas’ lands, waters, and wildlife, but for the well-being and benefit of its people. Stewards of the Wild, Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation’s conservation leadership program, equips emerging leaders aged 21 to 45 with opportunities to actively participate in the stewardship of Texas’ wild things and wild places by providing education, networking, and outdoor experiences.

The Annual All-Stewards Dove Hunt is the SOTW program’s signature outing as its largest and most popular annual event. This year, the program will host more than 200 Stewards of the Wild members and supporting partners from across the state. That includes numerous new and novice dove hunters who will be mentored by experienced SOTW members. It is a time for members to grow their conservation knowledge, hone their hunting skills, and connect and network with like-minded individuals. The event includes an overnight lodging, two hunts, three meals (including a gourmet dinner by acclaimed chef Jesse Griffiths, author of multiple cookbooks, and owner of Dai Due restaurant in Austin), live music, a raffle, sporting clays, and a festive atmosphere.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that advances Texas’ proud outdoor traditions through meaningful, high-impact programs, partnerships, and a wide range of projects that conserve and enhance our state’s lands, waters, and wildlife. The Foundation’s vision is for all Texans to have access to the wild things and wild places in our state, both now and for generations to come. For more information, visit www.tpwf.org.
