This year the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission will celebrate its 75th anniversary. Since 1947, the agency, and its employees, Commissioners, volunteers, partners and leaders have made an incredible impact on wildlife conservation in North Carolina. Accomplishments range from managing over 2 million acres of game lands for outdoor enthusiats to enjoy, to bringing the wild turkey population back from the brink, to creating a wildlife endowment fund with lifetime licenses and offering greater accessibility to wildlife-associated recreation – we are proud of our impact and look forward to more success.
Throughout the year we will reflect on our 75 years of existence through stories told in our monthly e-newsletter, North Carolina Wildlife Update, on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and in our redesigned magazine, Wildlife in North Carolina.
We hope you’ll follow along as we reminisce about #75wildyears.
