Getting outdoors is an important part of our American heritage and fosters a lifetime of awareness and appreciation for wildlife and the environment. Arizona is rich in wildlife diversity, ranking among the top five states in the nation when it comes to the total number of native bird, reptile and mammal species – more than 800.
Our mission is to conserve Arizona’s diverse wildlife resources and manage for safe, compatible outdoor recreation opportunities for current and future generations. The Wild Harvest Initiative® aligns with this mission.
