Merry Christmas to our Flock. Thank you all for an amazing year of conservation and fundraising!!

To the NWTF Family,
As we look back on one of the most significant years for the NWTF, we cannot help but be humbled. We did exactly what we set out to do for our 50th anniversary: we celebrated all year; we pushed the needle of what we thought was possible when it came to mission delivery; and most importantly, we strengthened the NWTF to embark on the next 50 years of mission delivery.
We owe this immense success to our volunteers, members, partners and talented staff, all of whom are the lifeblood of this great organization.
As we set our sights on the future in the New Year, let us take this time of Christmas to rest and recharge, spend time with loved ones and give thanks.
We are beyond excited to reunite together in Nashville and to begin a whole new era of the NWTF in the New Year!
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and our most sincere thanks to each and every one of you!
Yours in Conservation,
Jason and Kurt
