Alaska Waterfowl Association

Alaska Waterfowl Association began in the 1970s when a group of local hunters and sportsmen gathered for waterfowl hunting. What started as a casual pursuit evolved into something bigger—founders realized the future of waterfowling, wetlands, and the sport itself needed active protection. AWA formed to make that happen.

Founded in 1975, AWA has spent nearly 50 years conserving Alaska's waterfowl, wetlands, and outdoor heritage.

AWA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on waterfowlers and wetland conservationists. The organization:

• •Membership programs - Connect hunters who share passion for waterfowling across Alaska
• •Youth education - Educational seminars, youth hunts, and camps to pass hunting heritage to the next generation
• •Conservation projects - Active involvement in programs where both waterfowl and hunters benefit
• •Wetlands advocacy - Work on waterfowl management and habitat protection
• •Community partnerships - Building relationships with licensed guides, sponsors, and volunteers statewide

AWA operates on five core principles: Fellowship, Leadership, Mentorship, Dedication, and Education. They're dedicated to preserving waterfowling heritage while protecting Alaska's wetlands and ensuring hunting rights continue for future generations.
