Who We Are

The Montana Game Wardens Association (MGWA) is an organization of active duty State Game Wardens with Montana’s Fish, Wildlife, and Parks as well as retired officers and non-warden supporters. We strive as an association to recognize the long-standing traditions and accomplishments of Game Wardens in protecting Montana’s wild resources as well as provide support in the outdoors for the communities in which we serve.

The Montana Game Wardens Association is dedicated to:

• Creating partnerships with private landowners, resource agencies, other nonprofit organizations and the recreating public to expand access for hunting and fishing.

• Assisting fellow officers in distress as well as the general public in time of need.

• Helping conserve fish and wildlife and the habitats necessary to sustain them.

• Striving to become a recognized organization in the political arena and seeking out support for our shared cause.

• Working with other foundations on state and national level.

• Creating a positive public image of Montana's Game Warden work force.

• Promoting common sense laws and regulations.

• Recruiting the next generation of outdoor recreationists.
