Federal Policy, Local Impact

While Washington, D.C. may feel far from Wisconsin’s forests, lakes, and prairies, the decisions made there have a direct impact on our wildlife, natural resources, and outdoor traditions.

At the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation (WiWF), we know that federal policies shape everything from conservation funding to clean water protections and access to public lands. That’s why our staff, board members, and local conservation leaders regularly advocate at the national level—ensuring
Wisconsin’s values and voices are represented where it matters most.

Whether advancing landmark legislation like the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act (RAWA) or defending access to outdoor recreation, WiWF is committed to science-based advocacy, non-partisan leadership, and collaborative policy solutions that protect what makes Wisconsin wild.
We stay at the table—so your voice is heard.
