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.

Some of Our Accomplishments

In 2015 Concord, NC became a Certified Community Wildlife Habitat due to the efforts of CWA and the city government.

Each year, every NWF Community Wildlife Habitat must maintain their status in the program by re-certifying with NWF.  We currently have over 400 certified yards and 15 schools!  We constantly work to increase these numbers. Please certify your yard!

In May 2020 CWA participated in the North Carolina Wildlife Federation's Trees-4-Trash Program, collected 395 lbs. of trash locally and raised $335. We will receive one tree for every 25 lbs. of trash collected.
​
The NCWF reported that more than 400 people participated statewide, including staff and board members.  Together, volunteers prevented storm water runoff from carrying 15,000 pounds (!) of trash into streams and rivers to clog state waterways.

Thank you to every one who participated and or donated to the event!  Stay tuned for our next Trees-4-Trash event in the Fall.


​

With the addition of a second certified processing facility in Cabarrus County, and local hunters who support the program, Concord Wildlife Alliance (CWA) was able to significantly expand our role in 2019. We donated 67 processed deer or 1,968 pounds of venison to Cooperative Christian ​Ministries with the help of local hunters in 2019. We will be continuing this successful program in Fall 2020.
