Welcome to Concord Wildlife Alliance (CWA)! We are a young, non-profit 501 (c)(3) chapter of the North Carolina Wildlife Federation (NCWF) - a community based organization established for the purposes of environmental education, appreciation of wildlife and natural history, and conservation of wildlife habitat and natural resources. We are staffed 100% by volunteers.

We exist to engage our local citizens, organizations, and leaders to create and sustainably manage healthy habitats that support bountiful and diverse wildlife as a vital natural resource for future generations. ​We are gardeners, birders, hunters, photographers and hikers who have a
direct impact on the quality of life in the Concord community.
