This spring, we’re fighting for something worth more than jelly beans and chocolate — we’re fighting for new life in the wild.
Spring is supposed to be about new beginnings. Baby animals taking their first steps. The world coming back to life after a long, hard winter. But right now, wolves — animals that are supposed to be here — are back in the crosshairs because of a bill that just passed the House.
Rep. Lauren Boebert’s so-called “Pet and Livestock Protection Act” is a wolf-killing bill dressed up in friendly language. If the Senate passes it, federal protections under the Endangered Species Act get gutted — and the politics of fear replace the science of recovery.
Every dollar you give right now is worth three. We need to hit $80,000 to keep this fight alive. Help us get there.
Triple My Gift NowGray wolves have clawed their way back from the edge. They’ve done the hard work of recovery. But they still haven’t re-established sustainable populations across most of their historic range in the lower 48. They are not done. We cannot give up on them now.
The facts they don’t want you to hear: Far more livestock are lost to weather every year than to wolves. Non-lethal deterrents — when actually used — prevent conflict. This bill isn’t about protecting your pets. It’s about political points.
This Easter, give the gift that actually means something new.
The candy gets eaten. The basket gets forgotten. But a wolf pack raising pups in a forest that hasn’t heard them in a century? That’s what new birth actually feels like. That’s Easter for the wild.
This spring, instead of another bag of jelly beans, we’re asking you to give something that lasts — something that fights. A gray wolf howling in the night is the sound of a world coming back to life. That howl needs your help to survive this season.
The groups working to strip wolf protections are powerful and well-funded. They have lobbyists. They have PAC money. They have politicians. But they don’t have you.
We’re working with ranchers and wildlife managers across the West — real people who want real solutions, not scapegoats. We’re advancing non-lethal conflict prevention. We’re building legal challenges. And we are not backing down.
Please — pour your heart into this one.
The match ends at midnight. Your gift is tripled. The wolves are counting on this spring to be different.
🌿 Protect Wolves This EasterAfter too many deviled eggs, sit down and do something that actually matters.
Once the Easter feast settles, open up GLWA’s 2026 Wisconsin Conservation Congress Voting Guide and get prepared. The Spring Hearing is April 13 — in person at your county location — and you can also vote online April 13–15. Every Wisconsin resident can participate. It takes 20 minutes and it’s one of the most direct ways to influence fish and wildlife policy in this state.
GLWA has done the homework on all 37 questions — from opposing bobcat night hunting and the removal of spawning refuges on the Mississippi, to strongly supporting a dedicated 1/8% sales tax for conservation that mirrors the Missouri model.
