Preserving the future of wildlife, habitat

AND OUTDOOR TRADITIONS

Houston Safari Club Foundation (HSCF) has proudly invested over $4 million in youth education, shooting sports, and conservation initiatives, reflecting our unwavering commitment to preserving the future of wildlife and outdoor traditions. Our extensive range of projects encompasses innovative research, sustainability efforts, wildlife management, and beyond.

We believe Hunter-Conservationists are the greatest advocates for wildlife and habitat on this planet and are dedicated to preserving the future of hunting through our grant program.

“In a civilized and cultivated country, wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen. The excellent people who protest against all hunting, and consider sportsmen as enemies of wildlife, are ignorant of the fact that in reality the genuine sportsman is by all odds the most important factor in keeping the larger and more valuable wild creatures from total extermination.”
– Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States.
