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.

UPCOMING EVENTS

 
We're so excited for our February collaboration.  We hope you will join us on Tuesday, February 1 for a presentation on Reconnecting with Nature by Issa Vibe Adventures.

Issa Vibe was founded on the principles of exposing people of color to various outdoor activities that may not be very common in their demographic. They try to diversify nature through visuals, engagement, and helping people of color feel welcome and comfortable in nature.

Come learn more about how they are accomplishing this important task, and get a taste of what an Issa Vibe adventure is like with a sound bowl mediation session towards the end of their presentation.
​
This event is free to attend; however, reservations are required. Social distancing will be in place. Attendees will be entered into a raffle for door prizes! CWA will move the event to a virtual one if it deems doing so is best in light of COVID-19 case numbers leading up to the event.
