Fish & Wildlife Volunteers (FWV) business membership is open to any company committed to volunteering at least 20 hours per five employees to conservation causes. Conservation causes are defined by having mission or program work related to any one of the four below criteria:

Boots-on-the-Ground Conservation: Habitat improvement & protection, wildlife research, wildlife population surveys, waterfowl banding, tracking collars, migration mapping, water quality, etc.
Wildlife / Outdoor Education: This includes wildlife & outdoor education centers for students, wildlife rehabilitation centers, educational programming around conservation, and much more. If people don’t know about the wildlife, they’ll never go out of their way to help wildlife.
Wildlife Advocacy: Marketing programs and media platforms to inform the public on wildlife and habitat needs, lobbying governments on behalf of science-based wildlife conservation, public protest on behalf of science-based conservation, and much more. If the public doesn’t know about the needs of wildlife, the boots-on-the-ground work can rarely happen.
Access: Programs to help the public access wildlife and conservationists access the land to help wildlife. Without access, the public becomes disconnected from the natural world and people are much less likely to invest in it.

Fish & Wildlife Volunteers reserves the right to make a determination in regards to the qualifications of specific causes based on our definitions of a conservation cause.
