Stewards and friends,

As 2025 comes to a close, we extend our sincere thanks to you for supporting Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation and furthering the mission of our incredible Stewards of the Wild program. Stewards of the Wild exists to ensure the next generation of Texans can continue to conserve our precious wild things and wild places.

Reaching more Texans and providing our members with top-notch outdoor and educational opportunities are our top priorities. That said, we need your help to ensure our events and resources are intriguing and advance your outdoor skills and conservation knowledge. If you are a current member, you received an email from your local chapter leaders yesterday asking for your feedback through a quick survey. We appreciate your thoughts and ideas! Make sure you are logged in to complete the survey.

We hope you have a wonderful holiday season and look forward to seeing you in the new year!

Cheers,

Katie
