Georgia R3 Initiative
The GA R3 Initiative is a cooperative effort hosted by GWF and supported by GA DNR Wildlife Resource Division, National Wild Turkey Federation and the GA Chapter of Safari Club International. The Initiative is made up of stakeholders from across the state who have a vested interest in the goals of hunter, angler, shooting sport participant recruitment, retention and reactivation. The State R3 Coordinator, Bre Bashford employed by GWF, guided by national research and a big picture vision, facilitates program innovation, fosters community support structures and acts as a resource for all R3 programs and new outdoor enthusiasts in Georgia.
Goals
1) To increase participation in hunting, angling and shooting sports
2) To increase societal acceptance and support of hunting and shooting sports
The suggested strategies and actions to accomplish these goals are defined in the 2017 Georgia Hunting Action Plan.
The 2022 R3 Action Plan development team will request community feedback at this year’s Summit to finalize 2022 updates.
