National Wildlife Federation
Austin, TX, USA
Description
Founded in 1936, The National Wildlife Federation (NWF) and its 51 state and territorial affiliate partners are working to ensure that wildlife are able to thrive in a rapidly changing world. NWF is one of the nation’s oldest and most respected conservation organizations; through their seven regional offices across the country and the National Advocacy Center in Washington, DC, NWF aims to protect, restore, and connect wildlife habitat, to support 21st-centruy wildlife management, to educate the next generation of conservation stewards, and to connect both children and adults with the natural world.
The National Wildlife Federation’s South Central Region covers 12 states (IO, KS, OK, MO, TX, AR, LA, MS, AL, GA, FL, SC) and two territories (Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands). The regional office is headquartered in Austin, TX, with additional offices in New Orleans and Atlanta. The conservation work of the South Central Region is largely focused on water.
This is an exciting time of growth and expansion for NWF’s work in Texas. Launched in 2001, the Texas Living Waters Project is advancing environmentally sound management of fresh water resources in Texas; the Mississippi River Delta Restoration project focuses on the restoration and rebuilding of Louisiana’s deteriorating coastal wetland ecosystem; and the Gulf Restoration Program actively promotes the investment of funds from the 2010 Gulf Oil Spill in the restoration and protection of coastal resources.
The Director of Texas Water Programs role is a full-time position based in Austin, Texas.
