About NM-SFW

 

New Mexico Sportsmen for Fish & Wildlife (NM-SFW) focuses on Habitat Protection, Enhancement, Responsible Predator Control and Reasonable Management of Hunters. These three issues combine to help produce the highest quality fish and game animals possible on public lands. SFW has emerged as the fastest-growing, most successful conservation group in America.

 

 

Mission Statement

 

NM-SFW exists to promote the protection and enhancement of wildlife habitat, assist in providing quality wildlife management programs to local and federal wildlife agencies, educate the public about the roles hunters play in wildlife conservation, and perpetuate the family traditions of hunting and fishing.

 

 

Results

 

NM-SFW accomplishes results by empowering you, the local members and chapters, to fix things in your own backyard.  NM-SFW provides the political muscle and financial capability to work with game and fish personnel, US Forest Service and BLM managers, ranchers and private land owners, for the benefit of wildlife and sportsmen. Our success is in the appeal we have with sportsmen who are genuinely interested in improving wildlife populations and increasing hunting opportunity for everyone. When bureaucrats provide excuses, NM-SFW is not afraid to do whatever it takes to get things done.

 

 

Habitat Restoration

 

NM-SFW is among the state’s leading wildlife conservation groups in improving, preserving and protecting habitat for the health and perpetuation of wildlife and for the benefit of those who use and enjoy the land. Healthy habitat, and the healthy and diverse wildlife populations that result from it, is at the core of our mission and purpose.  NM-SFW has been the catalyst for restoring and improving habitat for all wildlife in New Mexico, including the San Juan River Hammond Tract Restoration project among many others.

 

 

Teamwork

 

NM-SFW works with elected officials at all levels, from the community court house to the White House, to improve and protect quality hunting and fishing on our great public lands and waters. NM-SFW members are active participants in wildlife conservation having successfully raised millions of dollars for wildlife that now benefits multiple game species. We have been on the front lines, from the steps of Capitol Hill to the tallest mountain peaks; we are the few who fight for the many. We are sportsmen serving sportsmen and are motivated by our passion for hunting and fishing. We are committed to making every necessary policy and political change to benefit wildlife and sportsmen alike.

 

 

Non-Profit

 

NM-SFW is a 501-c(3) non-profit wildlife conservation organization of sportsmen who are interested in preserving and increasing healthy, populations of wildlife throughout New Mexico and to promote the protection and enhancement of wildlife habitat, the quality of wildlife management programs, and America’s family heritage of hunting and fishing.

 

 

Western Roots

 

NM-SFW was originally formed in New Mexico by a handful of motivated sportsmen who directed the passion of thousands of sportsmen into positive change for New Mexico.

 

New Mexico sportsmen were fed up with just standing around and wishing they could do something to make a true difference.  That is when we decided to take action.  NM-SFW has been the catalyst for change that has put New Mexico on the road to recovery through habitat enhancement, increased funding through leveraging non federal match dollars and grass-roots muscle to accomplish projects and  help our local youth outdoor shooting, archery and hunter education programs.

 

There have been many habitat improvement and restoration projects that have been realized and accomplished with the help of the NM-SFW, it's awesome members and Industry Partners.  We have an outstanding relationship the NMDGF which allows the NM-SFW to provide non federal match dollars to get some of the much needed projects in New Mexico accomplished.
