Providing Essential Tools for Conservation Enforcement Officers
"off pavement law enforcement since 1907"
Equip Alabama Wardens is a program of the Alabama Conservation Enforcement Officers Association, a 501(c)(3), which seeks to provide equipment needs for officers which wouldn't be available otherwise. Every year Alabama Game Wardens safeguard landowners, citizens and wildlife resources on over 33 million acres of rural public and private lands, 563,000 surface acres of public waters and 77,000 miles of rivers and stream channels. The varied topography from mountainous regions in the North to salt marshes along the coast, all pose challenges in effective officer patrols.
What you need to know about donating to Equip Alabama Wardens
We believe in full transparency when it comes to donations. That's why we make it easy for you to choose a specific piece of equipment to donate toward. Depending what equipment fundraiser you choose, you could be helping our Conservation Enforcement Officers in the fields of natural resource protection, law enforcement, disaster relief, and search and rescue.
You can also get peace of mind knowing that 100% of your donation will go directly to purchasing the item of your choice. Visit our Donate Now page today to make a contribution.

EAW Representative Reid Gaston presented a new ice machine to the Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division Law Enforcement Section that was donated to EAW. This donation is eligible for a 90 to 10 percent federal cost share match, as the ice machine will be placed into use at the Shelby Shooting Range in Shelby County. Shelby Range is currently under construction. When completed, Shelby Range will be open to the public and support shooting sports enthusiasts, a site for Conservation Enforcement Officer training, continuing education for Law Enforcement personnel, and firearms safety classes for the public.
