NORTH CAROLINA HARNETT COUNTY PROCLAMATION HUNTING AND FISHING DAY September 28, 1996 . Hunting and fishing have always been an important part of the American tradition. While these activities may no longer be necessary for survival as they were in the early days of the nations, they are still relevant today. Sportsmen and sportswomen recognize the critical role of habitat, quantity and quality of air, land water, adequate cover or shelter, appropriate space, and sufficient arrangement for the existence of all living things. For over 100 years, they have been in the forefront of the conservation movement. Not content with merely vocalizing their support, hunters and anglers requested special fees and taxes on their equipment to pay for scientific research, habitat acquisition and improvement, education, and enforcement. Over the years, funds raised total over $19 billion for conservation. ....-_~ ~ ____T __~___~_~~~_ _~_. _...__ _________.____.._.___~_~.~___~_____, ~~_ ____.~__._______.._________...___ 476 Programs financed by the hunters and anglers have led to the dramatic comeback of many wildlife species. These include game species such as the wild turkey, tundra swan, snow geese, ducks, and white-tail deer. These efforts also helped the comeback of non-game species including the bald eagle, songbirds, shore birds, alligators, fur bearers, and others. We would like to take this opportunity to commend responsible hunters and anglers for their efforts on behalf of wildlife and for their contributions to conservation. Therefore, the Harnett County Board of Commissioners do . hereby proclaim Saturday, September 28, 1996, as Hunting and Fishing Day in Harnett County and call upon our citizens to join with hunters; anglers, and other responsible conservationists to ensure the wise use and proper management of our natural resources to benefit future generations. Duly adopted this 3rd day of September, 1996. HARNETT COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS J/~/ ATTEST: / H. t. so~ ~ Jr., Chairman ~~J.~ Ky. Blanchard, Clerk . . .'.. ~" ---..--
