about us

Albuquerque Wildlife Federation is an all-volunteer non-profit organization focused on New Mexico's wildlife and habitat resources. Among AWF's dedicated and able volunteers are wildlife experts, public land stewards, sportsmen and hunters, and most especially, ordinary citizens committed to conservation of nature's wealth for personal satisfaction and for future generations.
AWF's mission statement

Picture
AWF is proud of its connection to Aldo Leopold – forester, game manager, and author of A Sand County Almanac – who founded the Albuquerque Wildlife Federation with several colleagues in 1914. As his role with the fledgling Forest Service evolved into the profession of Wildlife Biologist during the 1930's, he grew to appreciate, despite his initial advocacy of predator control, that healthy wildlife habitat relies on species diversity and richness, that nature is an interconnected web of dependency among species small and large. This is a philosophy that AWF embraces.

Inspired by Leopold's path of life-long learning, AWF offers monthly meetings featuring guest speakers on a variety of topics, in-the-field restoration service projects, a monthly newsletter, and opportunities to discuss issues relating to wildlife protection, habitat conservation, and wise use of public lands.

AWF's field projects partner our members with federal and state agencies and other conservation organizations to protect resources on New Mexico's public lands. We consolidate our efforts on restoration projects where we all learn and benefit from the shared experience.

Monthly meetings are held at 7:30 pm on the second Thursday of every month (except July), at Manzano Mesa Multigenerational Center, 501 Elizabeth SE, in Albuquerque.
