Lisa,

All I can tell you is that the creation of our Aquatic Habitat program, funded by our Aquatic Habitat Stamp, took some effort. The idea grew over several years and eventually we enlisted the help of our anglers to support the program and get our state legislature and our commissioners to approve of it. That effort took a lot of communication and partnerships. That all takes time and effort, but it can be done! Hunters, trappers and anglers always have been and continue to be the original conservationists and I am thrilled they supported us in our Aquatic Habitat Program, !
