The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) has been a dedicated steward of the outdoors since 1916, leading in wildlife conservation efforts and inspiring people to value nature and their role in it.
Primarily funded through sources like fishing and hunting licenses, boat registrations, and federal excise taxes on firearms and ammunition, the DWR works tirelessly to protect hundreds of species and their habitats, offering opportunities for hunting, fishing, boating, wildlife viewing, and more across over 1,000 public lands in Virginia.
