Want to be part of conserving Mississippi’s lands and waters? You can contribute by joining Wildlife Mississippi today!
Wildlife Mississippi is a private, non profit, charitable conservation organization. Contributions from sportsmen, individuals, corporations, foundations and the conservation community are essential to the success of its initiatives.
By joining our organization, you make a strong commitment toward the conservation of fish, wildlife and plants throughout Mississippi. While this is an important first step, your involvement and input should not end there. With your support, we will continue to work for programs that improve the quality of life in Mississippi and the value of our lands. You will witness this commitment each time you see, read or listen to another story about the conservation efforts of Wildlife Mississippi. So ask a friend to join us also!
Our mission is to conserve Mississippi’s natural heritage for the enjoyment by all of Mississippi’s residents and visitors. Because of our beliefs and principles, we are different than most conservation and environmental organizations. We have three basic areas of work; they are: 1) to conserve waters and water quality; 2) conserve fish and wildlife habitat; and 3) promote conservation that makes good economic sense.
Our success is measured by achievements in conservation, restoration and enhancement of Mississippi’s lands and waters. Furthermore, all funds raised by Wildlife Mississippi will stay here at home in Mississippi.
Wildlife Mississippi believes that it takes a strong economy to sustain a quality environment that conservation should include both private and public lands and waters, that private property rights encourage good stewardship and that conservation makes Mississippi a better place to live, work and raise a family.
To date, we have protected 114, 474 acres, restored 75,688 acres and enhanced 230,308 acres for a total of just over 420,470 acres. That is impressive by any standard.
We need the support of more Mississippians. In fact, it’s your opportunity to have a voice in what happens to our great state. With your membership, you receive a subscription to our quarterly Wildlife Mississippi magazine, a membership card and a decal. Also, depending on what level of support, there are more benefits.
