Chapter Program

“Exploring the Essential Link Between Hunting and Conservation”, by Erik Wolf

October 2024 Program Description

Imagine if hunting were banned tomorrow—what would it mean for wildlife, wetlands, and public wildlife areas? You might be surprised by the profound impact this could have.
Consider this: the federal duck stamp, required for waterfowl hunters, has raised over $1.1 billion, funding the preservation of more than 6 million acres of vital waterfowl habitat. Additionally, hunters contribute to the Wildlife Restoration Act, which generates $12 billion for state conservation efforts.
These funds are crucial for protecting ecosystems and wildlife. So, what role do hunters play in conservation? Discover the answer and learn how their contributions are making a difference. Join us at our monthly program presentation to explore the essential link between hunting and conservation efforts, and see firsthand how these activities support and sustain our natural resources.
