Overview

Mission

The mission of the Southeast Chapter of the Wild Sheep Foundation is to build a community of conservationists to raise resources in support of scientific wild sheep management practices and habitat improvement. This is to ensure healthy populations of North America's sheep herds for future generations to enjoy. We are a volunteer organization dedicated to sharing our passion for mountain hunting, educating the public and youth about the sustainable use of mountain resources and the important role hunters play in wildlife conservation, regardless of where we live.
