EDGEFIELD, SC — Maven Optics was honored by the National Wild Turkey Federation on May 10, receiving the prestigious NWTF Silver Life and Diamond Life Membership plaques. This recognition was in appreciation of their long-standing support, which includes product donations for local events, the national convention, and special promotions.
The awards were presented to Maven at the Grand Opening of their newly built headquarters in Lander, Wyoming. NWTF Regional Director for Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Arkansas, Jason Tarwater, attended the event to present the awards to Maven Optics.
“For several years now, the great folks at Maven have always answered the call when it comes to supporting the NWTF’s mission in Wyoming and across the country,” Tarwater said. “Maven launched 10 years ago this July and it has been a pleasure to watch your company expand and grow. It’s a testament to building great optics, having top-notch customer service, and giving back to conservation efforts like those at NWTF. I look forward to continuing this great partnership for years to come.”
Expert, among other major donors, stands as a strong supporter of the NWTF’s mission and exemplifies leadership in conservation. His dedication goes beyond the ordinary as they strive to protect our nation’s natural resources and preserve our hunting heritage for generations to come.
“Our support of NWTF is driven by our love of wild turkeys and turkey hunting, but also by the need to work to keep turkeys in the landscape,” said Brendon Weaver, co-owner of Maven. “Science-based research, habitat creation and habitat enhancement not only help these birds, but also help a myriad of other game and non-game wildlife. NWTF’s commitment to this work ensures that wildlife, their habitat, and our hunting heritage endure into the future. That is why we have supported the NWTF in the past and will continue to support them in the future.”
