The Conservation Roundtable is a collation of executives representing America's top hunting, fishing and environmental organizations, who meet annually to discuss opportunities for collaboration and conservation. The organizations of this Roundtable collectively represent ten million Americans, tens of millions of acres conserved, and hundreds of years of conservation experience.”

Founded by Simon C Roosevelt, the Conservation Roundtable Conferences are sponsored by The Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and hosted each year by Mr. Roosevelt and Allison Whipple Rockefeller at the Pocantico Conference Center on the Rockefeller Family estate. According to Dale Hall, CEO of Ducks Unlimited, "The primary purpose is to bring together the leadership of major non-government organizations to see how we can focus on substantive issues that we all share."

Recently the Conservation Roundtable published an open letter to President Obama, Congressman John Boehner and Senator Harry Reid in Politico to encourage government “to find practical ways to make stewardship today more inclusive, concerted, and effective.”
