Bill > SR891

This resolution, a formal expression of appreciation from the Georgia Senate, honors the Georgia Wildlife Federation for its nearly 90 years of dedicated work in conservation and outdoor stewardship. Founded in 1936 by concerned hunters and anglers alarmed by declining wildlife populations, the Federation has been instrumental in promoting science-based conservation, fostering appreciation for the outdoors, supporting responsible recreation, and securing vital funding for Georgia's natural resources. The resolution acknowledges the Federation's significant role in restoring game species, supporting the establishment of the state's wildlife agency, advocating for conservation funding like the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act and the Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Program, and educating generations of Georgians on valuing and enjoying the outdoors responsibly. It recognizes the Federation as a trusted organization that has built strong partnerships to implement practical, science-based solutions benefiting Georgia's natural resources across the entire state.
