Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program

The Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program is a US government initiative that funds conservation and outdoor recreation projects. It collects revenue from taxes on fishing gear, hunting equipment, and boat fuels, then redistributes this money to state agencies. These funds support efforts to protect wildlife habitats, restore fish populations, and improve outdoor activities like hunting and fishing. The program ensures that resources for conserving natural areas and providing recreational opportunities are sustainably managed, benefiting both wildlife and outdoor enthusiasts while promoting responsible use of natural resources.
