“Passing this legislation is a monumental achievement for Mississippi. It took Georgia nearly 10 years to get a similar program enacted, but in Mississippi, we were able to get it done inside of two years. I think that speaks to the passion of our state’s leadership and their understanding of the importance of our great outdoors and the economic driver that that it is. We are pleased with the program’s establishment, and we look forward to getting started on conservation work that preserves state’s special places for the next generation.”
-Ed Penny, President of the Mississippi Outdoor Stewardship Coalition
