Public invited to attend free events in Arizona Sept. 17-22
People with an interest in wildlife, conservation and the great outdoors are invited to attend a variety of free activities in Arizona celebrating National Hunting and Fishing Day, which is Sept. 22.
National Hunting and Fishing Day was established by Congress in 1971 to recognize hunters and anglers for their contributions to wildlife conservation.
More than 100 years ago, hunters and anglers were among the first to realize that expanding civilization and unregulated market hunting were causing serious wildlife population declines, threatening the sustainability of many species. The efforts of hunters and anglers to change that situation helped pave the way for today’s science-based systems of wildlife management, where regulated hunting/fishing and habitat management programs have restored and maintained sustainable wildlife populations for all to enjoy.
Today’s wildlife conservation efforts are funded primarily by the more than $1 billion annually that hunters and anglers spend on license fees and excise taxes on sporting equipment. These monies support wildlife conservation programs, habitat acquisition and outdoor recreation opportunities in Arizona and throughout the country.
A number of free events will be held the week of Sept. 17-22 to provide the opportunity for people of all experience levels to learn about or enhance their knowledge of the great outdoors and outdoor recreation pursuits.
Check the list below for scheduled activities. For more information about National Hunting and Fishing Day, visit www.nhfday.org.
