For the past 101 (nearly 102) years, the League has represented the interests of Sportsmen and women throughout the state in making sound conservation and wildlife management decisions in both the state legislature and in congress. 

The League is more than just working with government.  Through our education arm, the Ohio Wildlife Federation (a 501(c)3 organization), the League sponsors youth outdoor skills programs, camps and scholarships.  Together, the League and OWF offer a complete package of conservation education programs for all ages, along with solid representation of our member clubs and their members, and our membership, to both the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and the Ohio Division of Wildlife.  We regularly partner with ODNR and the Division of Wildlife to help spread the “wise use” message that is our conservation and sporting heritage.

But what’s in it for you and your club?

With your $50.00 annual club membership fee, your club becomes a club member of both the League and OWF.  Your members are associate members of the League and OWF at no charge to them.  We encourage and ask all of our clubs to suggest that their members become full individual members in the League and OWF for only $25.00 per year.

In addition, your club will appoint a Club Director.  This director will sit on our Board of Directors and OWF’s Board of Trustees with full voting privileges.  Your club and your members will have a voice in the League’s policy and issues.  At our annual convention, held at the end of February each year, you will have — in addition to your director — two delegates and two alternate delegates. 

We encourage you to have your director attend our board meetings.  We typically meet for about three hours on the third Saturday of the month.  This is your opportunity to bring local issues to us so that together we can work for the betterment of both of our organizations.

If you have any questions, please call our office at any time at (614) 224-8970.

To get started, please fill out the Club Membership Application form completely and mail it along with a check for $50.00 to our office.

We look forward to working with your club!
