From gwf.org/r3 ↗About this program
The GA R3 Initiative is a cooperative effort hosted by GA DNR Wildlife Resources Division. The Initiative is made up of stakeholders from across the state who have a vested interest in the goals of hunter, angler, shooting sport participant recruitment, retention and reactivation.
Georgia Wildlife Federation has been a leader in Georgia's R3 movement since it's inception and housed the statewide R3 Coordinator through 2024. The position is now held within the Georgia DNR Wildlife Resources Division.
Currently, Georgia Wildlife Federation's R3 work is accomplished primary through our Academics Afield (collegiate hunting communities) and Artemis Georgia (engaging women in conservation through hunting, angling and target shooting).
Background information and the suggested strategies, actions, and tasks to accomplish these goals are defined in the Georgia R3 Action Plan Summer 2024. Broad R3 objectives and roles can be accessed via the R3 Vision.
To increase and diversify participation in hunting and the shooting sports, passionate conservationists meet annually to combine efforts and influence R3 change in Georgia. In addition, the volunteer working group meets quarterly to drive action forward.
