With the same dedication it has brought to restoring wild turkey populations across North America, the NWTF is delivering, and in some cases re-introducing, the beauty and excitement of the outdoors to thousands of disabled people through it's outreach program Wheelin' Sportsmen NWTF.
The program was created by a merger between the Alabama-based Wheelin' Sportsmen of America and the NWTF. Wheelin' Sportsmen NWTF is the realization of both organizations' commitment to creating a national effort to provide the disabled with opportunities to get out and enjoy outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, bird watching, and much more.
For more information on Wheelin' Sportsmen or to find out how you can host a Wheelin' Sportsmen Event, contact the NWTF at 1-800-THE-NWTF, iburkhart@nwtf.net
