"Game Birds Everywhere"
That's the vision Executive Director, Jim Hagedorn had when he established the Game Bird Foundation as a non-profit 501 c(3) organization in 2015. The passionate bird lover and hunter swiftly assembled a team of supporters, and through his extraordinary relationships with like-minded conservationists, activists, hunters and officials, was able to grow the group into what it is today.
Our Mission
The Mission of the Game Bird Foundation is four fold.
- To promote the protection and development of game bird habitat
- To assist in providing robust game bird management programs
- to educate the public in the role that hunters and the public play in game bird management, conservation, hunting, and predator control
- To perpetuate the tradition of hunting and watching wild birds
Pitching in
Volunteers are critical to achieving our mission and vision. We formed committees that align with each facet of our mission to help members and supporters get involved with any area they're interested in. Each committee is led by a board member and meets outside of the monthly board meeting as many times as necessary each month to plan and execute the projects in their area. The committees are as follows:
