The Washington chapter of BHA signs stakeholders letter, urging legislature to appropriate full funding requested by the state Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW).
Hunting and angling is a way many Washingtonians choose to experience our state's rich natural heritage, and sportsmen and women have long supported fish and wildlife through license purchases and excise taxes on our gear. With challenges to our outdoor heritage growing and hunting and angling opportunities at risk of being lost, WDFW needs increased appropriations from the state General Fund this session to reverse fish and wildlife declines and restore outdoor opportunities for all Washingtonians.
