Accomplishments

The Florida Wildlife Federation was named National Wildlife Federation's Affiliate of the Year in 2006.

Established in 1937, and incorporated in 1946, the Florida Wildlife Federation has a long history of working for the citizens of Florida.

The Federation was instrumental in the creation of the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission in 1942 and has always supported their constitutional status which serves to keep the politics out of wildlife management.

The Federation drafted and worked hard for passage of legislation which established Florida's Conservation and Recreational Lands program (CARL) which has acquired thousands of acres that benefit Florida's fish and wildlife habitats and provide recreational opportunities. We continue to support expansion of this program as necessary due to Florida's population and development explosion.

The Federation also supports numerous other conservation endeavors throughout the state including:

• protection of wetlands, wildlife habitat, and endangered species.

• acquisition of environmentally endangered or sensitive lands.

• constant opposition to environmental pollution and waste with a focus on clean air and water quality.

• encouraging environmental and outdoor education in Florida's schools.

• encouraging proper management of our natural resources, including fresh and salt water habitats and state and national forests.

• support and development of traditional outdoor recreational opportunities for the public, including fishing, hunting, canoeing, hiking, bird watching and photography.
