Join South Dakota’s Growing Teaming with Wildlife Coalition

PIERRE, S.D.—A group working to restore and conserve the nation’s wildlife is looking for new members in South Dakota.

Teaming with Wildlife is a national coalition of more than 3,000 groups working to prevent wildlife from becoming endangered. The coalition supports increased funding for wildlife conservation and associated recreation and education in every state.

The Teaming with Wildlife Coalition includes biologists, state wildlife agencies, conservationists, hunters, anglers, trappers, birdwatchers, nature-based businesses and many others who support the restoration and conservation of our nation’s wildlife.

This grass-roots campaign starts at the state level. South Dakota recently gained 14 new members and is on its way to meeting a goal of at least 100 South Dakota organizations or businesses by this fall.

The newest coalition members are:

The coalition is free to join. Members simply go on record to show support for the need to ensure the conservation of wildlife and their habitats and, in the process, maintain the high quality of life South Dakotans enjoy.
