  Welcome to our web site. We hope you find your visit pleasurable and informative. We are entering our seventh and perhaps most productive year. If you are new to the NWTF please consider becoming a member. We have a lot to offer.

We encourage you visit all our menu pages for updates and hope you will make use of our new bulletin board. The News Room has the latest news about local, state and nation NWTF happenings and in the County-by-County page you can find information on chapters and events statewide. For scholarship information visit the Xtreme jakes page.

If you are already a NWTF member please consider volunteering some of your time to our outreach programs fund raising efforts. Our chapter volunteer's our services to the Leesburg Partnership for Mardi Gras and Bikefest, this in turn helps us sponsor our local and state Jakes education programs. We are proud to have held our third Statewide Jakes event this past January. See the events photos on the Jakes menu for an example of the fun this kids have at our events.

With Bikefest coming in April we need all the help we can get so please volunteer soon. Contact any of our chapter members on the contacts page for information. You will be helping our kids and you'll have fun doing it too.




We wish to express our deepest thinks to everyone who attended this years Hunting Heritage Banquet. Without your continued help and support we would not be able to do the things we do for conservation in our community and promote our outreach programs.

Thanks too you we have had seven great years of very successful JAKES, WITO and WHEELIN SPORTSMEN programs and events and have been able to contributed thousands of dollars toward conservation and community projects such as funds provided to the FWC Youth Education Center, The Boy Scout Camp, The Boys & Girls Club of Lake & Sumter Co., Scholarships for area high school seniors and Lake Sumter Community College, Thanksgiving dinners for area families in need and the soon to be implemented Archery in the Schools educational program at Oak Park Middle School.

We wish to pay special thanks to our sponsors both new and returning. You're generous support and contributions are the reason for our success. You are a credit to our NWTF chapter and to your community at large. Thank you! Thank you ALL.

As a show of appreciation we ask our membership and visitors to view our Sponsors Page. Help support us by supporting them with your patronage. They are all your local neighborhood businesses and employers and without them Leesburg and Lake county would be a lesser place to live.
