About the Wisconsin Outdoors Alliance

WOA Mission

The Wisconsin Outdoors Alliance (WOA) works on behalf of a great diversity of conservation and outdoors groups to promote habitat enhancement and wildlife management programs that bolster the health and sustainability of our state's ecosystems. WOA seeks to unify the voices of hikers and hunters, trappers and environmentalists, anglers and birdwatchers to demonstrate both the overwhelming importance of resource stewardship and economic power of Wisconsin's outdoors industry. WOA will organize to gain broad public support for the preservation of our natural heritage that will be required to protect land, water, and wildlife resources for future generations. The priorities of the WOA will be driven by a commitment to sustaining the vitality and viability of all outdoor activities that are so fundamental to who we are as citizens of Wisconsin.

Why WOA is Needed   

The WOA is a nonpartisan, non-profit organization dedicated to uniting and strengthening every aspect of our outdoors legacy. There are three very important reasons that the WOA is needed:

1. The economic impact of hiking, hunting, angling, bird watching, trapping and other outdoors  pursuits is staggering. When combined with tourism, the outdoors community may be the third largest industry in the state.                                                                            
2. The benefits derived from a strong outdoors community accrue to every citizen in Wisconsin. Abundant wildlife, clean water, fresh air can be enjoyed by everyone.
3. The people of Wisconsin believe that outdoors pursuits are more than hobbies and when taken together define the very culture of the state.

Advocacy

The WOA serves its membership through advocacy, information and education. You can join the WOA as an individual or as a sponsor.

The WOA maintains an effective professional staff with the ability to communicate on behalf of the members on important public and governmental issues.
