WHO WE AREThe Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) and its 350 employees are responsible for managing Oklahoma’s wildlife resources and habitat.

WHAT WE BELIEVEThat our fish and wildlife belong to all Oklahomans, and should be managed in a way that their populations will be sustained forever.

HOW WE ARE FUNDEDODWC does not receive general state tax appropriations. License sales and Federal Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program grant revenue are the two main funding sources. Essentially every dollar spent by sportsmen in Oklahoma on licenses goes back into the Department: user pay/public benefit.

This program receives Federal assistance from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and thus prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, disability, age, and sex (gender), pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as amended), Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. To request an accommodation or informational material in an alternative format, please contact (Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, (405) 521-3851). If you believe you have been discriminated against in any program, activity, or service, please contact: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Office for Diversity and Workforce Management, 5275 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, Virginia 22041.
