Georgia Wildlife Federation
Covington
In 1936, this poster was used to encourage conservationists from around the country to come together for the sake of America’s wildlife.
Believing that the natural resources of this state are economic, social, recreational, and aesthetic assets which should be restored and perpetuated for our posterity, and realizing that this can only be achieved through an aroused and enlightened opinion among the people of Georgia, we dedicate this Federation to these ends:
To encourage protection and restoration of waters, wildlife, forest, and field.
To seek more intensive education of the public in recognizing resource conservation as vital to our way of life and its preservation.
To replenish and renew a sound resources economy, but to always consider the economy of the State of Georgia and the well-being of the people therein.
To cooperate with county, state, federal and private agencies of resources management to improve and to strengthen our basic resources and husband partnerships that encourage wise utilization.
To recognize and promote hunting and fishing as essential tools of wildlife management and to stand firm on promoting the highest standards of outdoor ethics, strengthening farmer-sportsmen understanding, and presenting a positive image to landowners and the non-hunting public.
To develop and constantly seek to improve a statewide long range program to stimulate and encourage greater public interest in resources.
