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