The Michigan Outdoor Writers Association (MOWA) is a non-profit organization
    comprised of over 300 outdoor communicators, including newspaper and magazine
    outdoor writers, columnists, editors, photographers, cartoonists, radio and television
    broadcast journalists, video producers, book authors, lecturers and public relations
    specialists.  MOWA's members communicate on various outdoor subjects including:
    hunting, fishing, skiing, hiking, snowmobiling, backpacking, the environment, education,
    trapping, travel, humor, natural resources, conservation, travel, ecology,bird watching
    boating, canoeing and many other outdoor related subjects.

       MOWA's bylaws and principles include a pledge to support the preservation and
    conservation of the state's natural resources and the practice of good sportsmanship in
    outdoor recreation.  MOWA recognizes organizations and individuals who uphold these
    principles and, from time to time, presents a Clean Waters Award to an organization or
    individual for outstanding accomplishments in preserving, protecting and enhancing the
    waters of the State of Michigan.

       The Michigan Outdoor Writers Association is actively involved with improving the craft of
    outdoor communications and holds writing, photography, videography and cinematography
    competitions.  These craft improvement contests, including the coveted Teddy Awards, are
    prestigious and signify highly professional contributions to the outdoor communications
    industry.

     Another effort of MOWA is to provide the public with Memorial Markers of people, places
    and events that have been significant to the state's outdoor heritage.
