You might be surprised to know that Virginia DWR is primarily funded from sources other than Virginia general tax dollars. A lot of our funding to help conserve wildlife and habitat comes from public spending on things like fishing and hunting licenses, tags, or stamps, boat registrations, and via a federal excise tax on firearms and ammunition. You too can become a steward of the outdoors by supporting our work or working with us — whether you hunt, fish, and boat or simply enjoy the outdoors.
Your contributions can help us restore wildlife habitat when you become a Restore the Wild member or connect youth to the outdoors through the Virginia Wildlife Grant Program! Whether you volunteer with us , take the time to mentor a new hunter , or refer a friend to go hunting or fishing, you can make a difference!
