Honoring and commending the National Wild Turkey Federation upon its 50th anniversary.

Impact

The resolution serves as an acknowledgment rather than a legislative mandate, signifying the state legislature's support for the federation's ongoing efforts in wildlife conservation. While it does not alter state laws directly, it reinforces the importance of habitat restoration and hunting traditions, which can influence public attitudes towards wildlife management policies. By formally recognizing the federation, it could foster enhanced collaboration between state agencies and conservation organizations in future initiatives aimed at preserving wildlife habitats and managing game populations in Wisconsin.

Summary
