At Venator, the future of sustainable hunting has always been a priority, and as industry leaders, we continuously strive to shape the future of hunting, ensuring it remains possible for future generations. Hunting is about balance, between taking and giving back. This ethos drives our commitment to conservation and sustainability across all aspects of our work.
While we have always been at the forefront of sustainable hunting practices, we are proud to elevate our commitment through Legacy One. With this platform, we’ve already donated over $500,000 to programs like SCI Pathfinder, Blood Origins, and Outdoor Tomorrow Foundation, reinforcing our dedication to meaningful change.
Legacy One is our long-term pledge to partner with the communities, environments and like minded organizations that are integral to the hunting tradition. Our goal is to ensure that future generations can enjoy the same opportunities we have today.
Legacy One is built on three key pillars: people, wild game, and environment. These pillars guide our efforts as we work to create a lasting impact:
We support programs that nurture the next generation of hunters, such as youth education, veteran initiatives, mental health resources, and internships. By contributing to these programs, we help individuals passionate about hunting, as well as those who need extra support, guidance, and opportunities necessary to succeed.
Legacy One actively champions conservation by supporting a diverse array of initiatives, including habitat restoration, community education on wildlife conservation, ethical hunting practices, and partnerships with local organizations to enhance sustainable land management practices. In addition to animal welfare, genetic diversity, and population management, these elements are vital in fostering ecosystems where wildlife can thrive. Our team also engages in advocacy for responsible hunting regulations and collaborates with stakeholders to promote ethical hunting practices that honour the balance of nature.
Legacy One is committed to preserving the natural habitats we call our playground. By supporting programs that focus on biodiversity, water and vegetation health, and land access, we ensure that these spaces thrive for both game and diverse wildlife. Our efforts also extend to research on land use impacts, striking a balance between conservation needs and the enjoyment of natural spaces.
We invite our clients, partners, community members, and program providers to collaborate with us and propose ideas that align with our mission. Together, we can protect what we love, ensuring hunting traditions thrive and our natural habitats flourish for future generations.
