SITKA Gear Renews Its Commitment as a Trailblazer in Conservation

04/20/2022

Ever since SITKA Gear launched in 2006, the company’s drive to produce high-performance hunting gear has matched their devotion to supporting on-the-ground conservation. Renewing their support of the Boone and Crockett Club as a Trailblazer in Conservation, SITKA once again walks the walk when it comes to supporting hunting and conservation.

“Conservation isn’t just part of our business and marketing plan,” says Trevor Stewart, SITKA’s community marketing manager. “It’s vital to the future of hunting. It’s not lost on us that it’s our responsibility to support and actively participate in the conservation of the ecosystems that sustain the wildlife we enjoy.”

SITKA Gear first became a Trailblazer sponsor with the Boone and Crockett Club in 2015, and they’ve been a staunch supporter of the Club ever since. “Our missions align with wildlife management based on sound science,” says Stewart. “The Club’s goals to preserve hunting heritage, encourage new hunters, and instill the ethics of fair chase are all goals SITKA is proud to support.”

In addition to supporting the Club’s efforts, SITKA launched a conservation grant program of their own in 2019. SITKA Ecosystem Grants aim to fund projects that improve the state and function of an ecosystem. For instance, SITKA recently partnered with the National Wild Turkey Federation to restore fire to the oak savannas of Michigan’s Huron Manistee National Forest. It’s good for turkeys, insects, plants—the entire ecosystem, Stewart says. Other projects fund chronic wasting disease research and mule deer migration corridors in California.
