Joint Membership Chapter and Affiliates

WSF believes that conservation of wild sheep and preservation of our outdoor heritage depends on close cooperation of our partners— our WSF Joint Membership Chapters & Affiliates. Our impact on the future of wild sheep began locally decades ago and continues today with grassroots groups of likeminded individuals and organizations who understand the issues and have the courage to act. WSF now offers discounted dual membership in our growing list of Joint Membership Chapters and Affiliates, with benefits for members and, ultimately, wild sheep everywhere.
