Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

WHF works with landowners and like-minded conservation groups to create resilient prairie ecosystems that can consistently provide benefits and resist environmental changes. Every alliance receives a custom strategy for each site ranging from targeted treatment to full scale restoration of the site into a more natural state.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Wildlife Habitat Federation provides on the ground restoration, management and generational sustainability of prairie habitat for the conservation of soil, water, air and wildlife.

  • EDUCATION & OUTREACH: Wildlife Habitat Federation (WHF) works with like-minded organizations to achieve common goals, co-hosting education and outreach events with allied organizations to inform the public about land conservation practices, programs and benefits. On-site consultations provided landowners with technical guidance, and site evaluations were developed into conservation plans that outline a series of practices with the goal of providing measurable improvements of all natural resources present. WHF assisted landowners with enrollment in Farm Bill financial programs, participated in 18 presentations given to public and private entities, went on 115 site visits with landowners, developed 34 conservation plans affecting 24,938 acres and technical guidance was provided for 48,502 acres.

  • ON-THE-GROUND IMPLEMENTATION: Execution of improved management practices outlined in conservation plans or through technical guidance such as planned grazing, prescribed burning, invasive species control, planting of cover crops and native rangeland plantings. On-the-ground implementation impacted 27,668 acres of land in 21 Texas counties.

    Expenses $367,605 · Revenue $344,950

  • NATIVE PRAIRIE SEED PROGRAM: Harvesting of local native prairie seeds to increase seed availability to landowners in Texas. Time was invested in scouting and collection of new quality seed sources.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
