This resolution, originating from the Georgia House of Representatives, formally commends and honors the Georgia Wildlife Federation (GWF) for its 90 years of dedicated work in conserving Georgia's wildlife, natural resources, and outdoor heritage. The resolution highlights the GWF's founding in 1936 by concerned hunters and anglers alarmed by declining wildlife populations, and its subsequent commitment to science-based conservation, outdoor appreciation, responsible recreation, and securing funding for natural resource protection. It acknowledges the GWF's instrumental role in restoring game species, supporting the establishment of Georgia's wildlife agency, advocating for conservation funding like the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act and the Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Program, and promoting conservation education and ethical outdoor participation for all Georgians. The resolution also expresses sincere appreciation to all individuals associated with the GWF for their contributions and directs the Clerk of the House to provide a copy of the resolution to the organization.
