State & Federal Policy

IWF is your bird dog in government

There are dozens of political arenas throughout state and federal government frameworks where fish, wildlife, and outdoor opportunities can be enhanced or put on the chopping block. We monitor and work with all individuals, agencies, processes and levels of government that can impact our outdoor heritage and let you know when and how you need to speak up.

IWF Brings Your voice to the Idaho State Legislature

Each year during the Idaho legislative session, IWF acts as a voice for the sportsmen and women of Idaho. Rain or shine, whether the ducks are flying or the fish are biting, we are at the State House whenever a voice is needed for the wildlife, public lands, or hunters and anglers of Idaho.
