Affiliations and Memberships

The North American Grouse Partnership is proud to be affiliated with several other organizations that serve the conservation wildlife populations and their habitats.

American Wildlife Conservation Partners (AWCP)

In 2000, AWCP was founded by leading conservationists who recognized the need to bring together organizations with a focus on wildlife conservation, ethical hunting, and responsible wildlife management. The idea was to gather wildlife and natural resource professionals with similar interests in order to leverage individual strengths for the greater good of conservation and access. During the inaugural meeting at Boone and Crockett Club’s (North America’s oldest conservation organization) headquarters, there were 35 organizations represented. Today, AWCP consists of 52 organizations including NAGP that work to proactively address the most pressing challenges facing sportsmen and sportswomen, wildlife, and our treasured lands and waters.
