The Idaho Wildlife Federation is excited to announce the First Annual Tales from the Field, an IWF Annual Storytelling Gala and celebration of IWF’s 90th Anniversary, on December 10, 2026, at the Boise Centre in Boise, Idaho. This signature fundraising event brings together conservationists, hunters, anglers, outdoor enthusiasts, and community partners in support of advocacy, conservation, traditions, and science-based wildlife management across the state.
