Stewards of the Wild (SOTW), Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation's (TPWF) conservation leadership program, equips emerging leaders aged 21 to 45 with opportunities to actively participate in the stewardship of Texas’ wild things and wild places by providing education, networking, and outdoor experiences. 

With member-led chapters in eight major cities across the state, SOTW chapters engage 21 to 45-year-old outdoor enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds by providing opportunities to participate in outdoor experiences such as camping, hiking, lake and river clean-ups, fishing, and hunting; increase knowledge about public land access; interact with conservation professionals; and actively participate in the conservation of our wild things and wild places.
