Letter from the President

During the latter half of 2023 and the first eight months of 2024, the Colorado Wildlife Federation (CWF) has remained steadfast in its historic and present role of being a leading voice for the conservation of Colorado’s magnificent wildlife and their habitats in face of Colorado’s growing population, demand for outdoor recreational opportunities, and the push for solar and wind power development.

The Federation Board of Directors is proud to present our 2023- 2024 Impact Report which highlights the great work that our small staff and volunteer board has accomplished.

Efforts to influence state Legislative actions are highly active during the annual Legislative sessions, as one example, in January this year when CWF Commissioners supported the Senate Bill 24-026 that requires Wildlife Commissioners to have meetings with their respective constituents. There were multiple meetings with State and Federal land, water, and mineral agencies where our Executive Director worked tirelessly to advocate for wildlife and habitat considerations. Several are highlighted in the report.

On the informational and educational front, CWF has worked to improve our marketing outreach and re-vitalize our Becoming an Outdoors Woman program by adding new staff. Those efforts are highlighted in our report as well.

As a non-profit 501(c)(3) Organization, the Colorado Wildlife Federation accomplishes an amazing amount of advocacy and conservation planning with the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Division, the Federal Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and other State, county, and local planners. We depend on grants, donations, and some specific project funding to support our staff and the great work they are doing. Please show your support through generous donations.

Enjoy reading this report, and get a sense of how the Colorado Wildlife Federation is helping you to do what you love to do, in Colorado’s great outdoors. Best wishes for a great 2025!

Board President, CWF
