Why Donate to NDCTWS?

The North Dakota Chapter of the Wildlife Society (NDCTWS) supports a wide variety of activities to benefit wildlife including research, student and professional development, annual meeting costs, awards and scholarships, lobbying for wildlife issues, and providing information to industry and government about how to minimize impacts to wildlife. All of these activities are supported by hours of volunteer work, but it also takes funding to fulfill our mission effectively.

The Potholes and Prairie (P&P) Endowment provides support for the Chapter to meet the many urgent challenges confronting wildlife and their habitats. The P&P endowment program accepts gifts of cash, property, and deferred (estate) gifts. To discuss non-cash donation options, contact Mike McEnroe (701/224-8335) or Mike Goos (701/315-0529).

The Bill Bicknell Memorial fund was established ten years ago to honor Bill's conservation ethic and his commitment to natural resource conservation. Bill served as the Chapter's secretary-treasurer, as an executive board member, as president, and past president. He was instrumental in fostering involvement and developmental activities for students in the conservation field, and the memorial fund has provided scholarship funds to students who are working toward obtaining their degree in the conservation field. This year to commemorate the final year, the chapter will be awarding 2 students with the Bill Bicknell scholarship at the annual meeting.
