Learn about the mission and programs of Arizona Wildlife Federation (AWF) and its influence in wildlife and habitat conservation here in the Grand Canyon State. AWF is dedicated to educating, inspiring, and assisting individuals and organizations to value, conserve, enhance, manage, and protect wildlife and wildlife habitat.

Advocacy and Conservation Director Michael Cravens from the 100-year-old organization joins us to talk about connection to nature. We discuss birding, angling, and many forms of outdoor recreation, and as well as the importance of passing on an interest for outdoor traditions to future generations.
