National Wild Turkey Federation to Celebrate Sporting Traditions, Conservation





SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- The National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) has again stepped forward as a major sponsor of National Hunting and Fishing Day, the Congress-endorsed annual celebration of hunters, anglers and conservation.

This year's commemoration is set for Sept. 27.

NWTF's sponsorship provides vital support for Wonders of Wildlife museum, the official home and national organizer of National Hunting and Fishing Day. The Springfield, Mo., facility is the only hunting- and fishing-focused museum that's both affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution and accredited by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association.

"Since National Hunting and Fishing Day was founded 37 years ago, there's never been a better or more important tool for helping the public understand the conservation benefits of traditional outdoor sports. We've been a part of it for many years. We're proud to be a part of it again in 2008," said Rob Keck, CEO for NWTF.

Wonders of Wildlife also receives major sponsorship from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), Bass Pro Shops and The Sportsman Channel.

"With NSSF, Bass Pro Shops, The Sportsman Channel and NWTF, we have the nucleus of a powerful, growing alliance to make National Hunting and Fishing Day even more vibrant and effective than ever before," said Denise Wagner, event coordinator for Wonders of Wildlife.

Today, through fees and excise taxes, over 34 million hunters and anglers generate $100,000 every 30 minutes for fish, wildlife and habitat programs.
