 There’s a lot we can say about the South Carolina Wildlife Federation. After all, we’ve been around since 1931. And we appeal to a vast and widely varied collection of members, advocates, groups, and organizations—each with their own particular priorities and preferences when it comes to supporting our causes. But at the end of the day, there are two criteria that all of our supporters embrace:

 1)     They care about South Carolina’s wildlife & wildlife habitat

2)     They want to protect both for future generations

 We welcome the support of everyone. We believe variety makes this state so great—variety of topography, geography, ecosystems, climate, and of course, South Carolinians themselves. There is indeed beauty in the mix. We are first and foremost dedicated to conserving and restoring the natural ecosystems and biospheres that give life to all of South Carolina’s indigenous flora and fauna. We believe that is the basis to safeguarding our environment for all to use, both now and in the future.

 Mission Statement:

The mission of the South Carolina Wildlife Federation (SCWF) is to conserve and restore South Carolina’s wildlife and wildlife habitat through education and advocacy.

 

What Makes SCWF So Unique?

We CARE

 C.A.R.E. is at the core of the SC Wildlife Federation. It stands for: Conserve, Advocate, Restore, and Educate. Each of these words serves as a cornerstone, or pillar, that collectively makes our organization so vital and critical moving forward.

 

Conserve

We are the state of South Carolina’s first conservation group, established in 1931. Today, we rely on tried-and-true scientific initiatives to maintain the balance and health of our delicate ecosystems in order to conserve all wildlife throughout the state.

 

Advocate

We work with state legislators and policymakers to protect precious wildlife habitats and ensure that sound scientific data is used to make decisions that affect wildlife. The more knowledge our policy makers have, the better advocates they can be for our natural resources.

 

Restore

As human population increases and cities grow, it can have a detrimental effect on the land and waterways in the “path of progress.” We are diligently focused on restoring precious habitat through a variety of hands-on initiatives and education programs.

 

Educate

We are one of the very few conservation organizations in the state that conducts ongoing educational programs designed to enlighten all South Carolinians about protecting our natural habitats. Our goal is to inspire hope and ignite passion.
