Welcome to the Inland Northwest Wildlife Council

Leaders in volunteer conservation for over 50 years

The Inland Northwest Wildlife Council began in 1951 as the Inland Empire Big Game Council. A group of outdoor families, who, having enjoyed the outdoors and wildlife for so many years, decided it was time to give something back. With that, an enduring philosophy of volunteer commitment to conservation, education, ethics and safety was born. That small group has grown to 500 plus families with membership all across Washington State. Well recognized and respected for their leadership and unwavering volunteer spirit - the INWC now commits nearly 20,000 hours of volunteer time annually and thousands of dollars to worthwhile projects.

With the growth and success of The Big Horn Show, the Council was able to construct and occupy their own facility in 1996. Not only our clubhouse, the Council Center is the focal point and home for numerous other non-profit outdoor groups and a regional meeting place for all things outdoors. The Center also serves as a busy weekend rental for various parties, weddings and other private functions.

Currently the INWC has a full time staff of two and is involved with discussions, projects and planning statewide. Our reputation as a reasonable voice for sports men and women and commitment to natural resources is unmatched. We gather monthly for General Membership and Trustee meetings and schedule many work projects throughout the year. Join us at the Center the first Tuesday of every month, except July - we are confident you will find an area of interest to become involved.
