Hunting.

We believe the most effective way to conserve land is by enhancing Virginians relationship with it.

To sustain the Commonwealth’s hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation, the Wildlife Foundation of Virginia (WFV) works to extend the frontiers of publicly accessible land and engage Virginia's outdoorsmen and landowners. Because the future of wildlife and habitat resources depends upon our actions today, we are committed to inspiring a passion for outdoor recreation in the next generation.

We exist not only to conserve land, but to celebrate and promote Virginia’s rich sporting legacy.

Our Tenets

Heritage

With a heritage rich in the cultural traditions of hunting and fishing, the Commonwealth of Virginia stands as a beacon for sportsmanship and conservation. We are dedicated to helping ensure that Virginia’s vast sporting opportunities are afforded everyone.

Conservation

We exist to respect and uphold the wishes of Virginia’s landowners in conserving the landscape against the threat of urbanization and diminishing public land access. By doing so, we are key player in promoting the heritage intrinsically unique to our state.

Sportsmanship

Land conservation goes hand-in-hand with a passion for outdoor recreation. We seek to foster such passion by hosting hands-on events such as our annual One Shot Turkey Hunt, where veterans, youth, novice and experienced hunters come together to celebrate all things turkey. 

Hunt Opportunities

The key component to sustaining Virginia’s hunting and angling heritage is making sure Virginians have a place to hunt and fish. WFV works toward that end in multiple ways.
