Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4A

“Art often serves as the first educational moment for students to learn about invasive species and how to prevent the spread. Over 3,000 young artists worldwide created illustrations of their state fish in 2017 as wildlife forever hosted its 19th annual state-fish art contest. Wildlife forever is also involved with invasive species removal and habitat restoration. Our growing alliances work to restore prairie grasslands, removal of invasive plants and assist landowners to improve habitat for fish, wildlife and critically important pollinators.”
