Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation is raising awareness and encouraging all Texans to get involved in conserving the wild things and wild places of our state.

"We Will Not Be Tamed” calls you to appreciate the wildness of Texas, the vastness of our Texas spirit and why we should be inspired to conserve it.

TPWF is thrilled that a group of remarkable Texan outdoorsmen and women are standing with us to tell their stories. Thomas Flemons is one of The Untamed and loves to paddle the waters of central Texas in a unique watercraft that he created. He calls it a SUP-YAK, and it combines the best features of a stand-up paddleboard and a kayak. Thomas’ passion for the outdoors has become his vocation, and he is committed to conserving the wild things and wild places of Texas.

TPWF has partnered with Trailblazing Texas companies to bring you a one-of-a-kind sweepstakes. Outdoor-loving brands from Toyota to Yeti to Howler Brothers have partnered to give away everything you need to Live the Wild Life. Thomas Flemons’ Diablo Paddlesports has thrown in one of his signature SUP-YAKs, too. The grand prize winner will drive home in a new Toyota Tundra!

To Live the Wild Life, you’ll need the gear, so enter today!
