Conservation Federation of Missouri's new executive director is Tyler Schwartze.

"Mr. Schwartze exemplifies the values of a true conservationist. The federation looks forward to Tyler's leadership conserving and preserving Missouri's wildlife and natural resources for many years to come," Gary Van de Velde said, CFM President.

"I am very honored to lead the Conservation Federation to support the great outdoor traditions we have in Missouri. We are so lucky to live in a state that is extremely diverse in wildlife, natural resources and recreational opportunities. I am committed to preserving and promoting these outdoor heritages so they can be enjoyed for generations to come," Schwartze said.

The Conservation Federation of Missouri was founded in 1935 when fish, forests and wildlife were decimated across the state. Since then, CFM has worked diligently with many partners to ensure conservation of Missouri's wildlife and natural resources.
