Founded in 1936, the Montana Wildlife Federation (MWF) is Montana's oldest and largest grassroots wildlife conservation organization. Over the last 80+ years, MWF has played a central role in the creation, enactment, and implementation of the laws and programs that protect Montana's wildlife, public lands, and public access for hunting, fishing, trapping, and other outdoor recreation. MWF is an affiliate of the National Wildlife Federation, America’s largest wildlife conservation organization.
