The 2001 awards banquet, held Thursday, April 19 at the Sheraton Buckhead, was a great success. The strength of the Georgia Wildlife Federation can truly be shown in the tremendous effort and time contributed by our volunteers. We realize that it is through their efforts that GWF will continue to grow and spread the conservation message.
Volunteers carry out the GWF mission through activism.
They act as a first line of action by calling and writing all levels of government to make their voice heard. They attend meetings and hearings on a variety of subjects that may impact areas large and small. Volunteers save the Federation thousands of dollars each year by maintaining GWF habitat gardens, donating graphics to the website, and serving as door security at special events. They clear trails so that others might enjoy nature. They perform administrative work and educate others about conservation and the environment.
