Not only will the information contribute to an understanding of regional migration patterns, it will also help us inventory the wildlife of the Alcovy River site. Counts are held once a week during the migration season. Contact DeAnna for exact meeting times and directions. Check the GWF Calendar for upcoming count dates. Throughout the year, GWF hosts a variety of programs at the Alcovy Conservation Center.
Topics range from hunter safety classes to hands-on wildlife gardening.
Some are free to the public, while others require a registration fee. TIP board members are volunteers who share an interest in wildlife and a desire to provide a poaching deterrent by offering a monetary reward for information on wildlife violations. The Georgia Wildlife Federation has served on the Turn in Poachers Board continuously since its organization. In 1987, the GWF Board of Directors unanimously approved a resolution to reimburse TIP for all rewards paid in cases involving white-tailed deer. Because most of the TIP rewards have been for deer cases, the GWF has contributed almost half of all the funds received by TIP throughout its history.
