Eaton County NDA

We are thrilled to announce that our 5th Annual Giving Day was a resounding success, thanks to your generosity and the generosity of our Sponsor, onX Hunt. Together, we raised over $185,000 in donations from 359 supporters! Not only did we receive $50,000 in matching dollars from onX, but because we engaged over 300 donors we unlocked $15,000 in additional funds from onX that will directly support our mission.

Your dedication to ensuring the future of wild deer, wildlife habitat, and hunting makes a tangible difference. A heartfelt THANK YOU to each and every one of you who gave for your unwavering support!

Proud sponsor of the Olivet High School Trap Shooting Team

A well deserved award 👏

There are many ways to define a volunteer: someone who gives freely of their time, puts the mission above themselves, and sets the standard for others to follow. All of those qualities describe Todd Johnson of Michigan, our 2025 Volunteer of the Year.

A former president and active leader of NDA's Northern Jack Pine Branch, and now serving as Director of Advocacy and Policy for MI National Deer Association State Advisory Council, Todd has played a critical role in advancing deer management and conservation efforts across the state. His influence extends beyond NDA, supporting multiple conservation organizations and strengthening the broader mission of wildlife stewardship.

“Todd Johnson’s selection as Volunteer of the Year comes as no surprise,” said Mike Ketelaar, Michigan NDA State Advisory Council President. “He brings passion, leadership, and a unique ability to bring people together. His thoughtful approach to advocacy and deer management has made a lasting impact.”

Simply put, deer, deer habitat, and the future of deer hunting in Michigan are better today because of Todd Johnson’s dedication and service. Please join us in congratulating Todd Johnson, our 2025 NDA Volunteer of the Year.
