Mule Deer Foundation

The Mule Deer Foundation (MDF) is a non-profit organization based in Salt Lake City, Utah, dedicated to the conservation of mule deer, black-tailed deer, and their habitats. As a small organization with six employees, MDF leverages partnerships with volunteers, businesses, organizations, and natural resource agencies to achieve its conservation goals. MDF carries out its mission through various initiatives, including habitat restoration projects, scientific research, and public education campaigns. They also host the Western Hunting & Conservation Expo, a major event that brings together outdoor enthusiasts and conservationists. MDF's efforts aim to raise awareness about the importance of deer conservation and to promote sustainable hunting practices. A key aspect of MDF's work is its dedication to youth engagement. In 2011, the organization launched a comprehensive outdoor education program designed to introduce young people to the outdoors and inspire the next generation of conservationists.
