Fish & Wildlife

Tennessee is the single most biologically diverse inland state in the nation. And conserving that impressive range of fish and wildlife is at the very heart of Tennessee Wildlife Federation’s mission. These natural resources were once on the brink. But today, they directly drive billions in economic activity and provide priceless benefits through beauty and tradition.

Tennesseans have a history of stepping up to lead the conservation, sound management, and wise use of Tennessee’s fish and wildlife. But new threats make your action more important than ever before.
