About Wildlife Management Education Fund

THE WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT PUBLIC EDUCATION ADVISORY COUNCIL:

THE WMPEAC: CREATED IN 1998. . .

The Colorado Wildlife Management Public Education Advisory Council (Council) was created by the Colorado legislature in 1998 within House Bill 1409. The legislation created the Council’s mission in statute.

The mission as stated is to design and develop a comprehensive media program to educate the public, especially the urban public, about the values of wildlife, wildlife management and how hunting and fishing are important in the wildlife management equation. HB-1409 was created in part because of the grass roots efforts of the Colorado Wildlife Conservation Coalition (CWCC), a nonprofit, political action committee and corporation, formed in 1997, composed of sportsmen, wildlife and agriculture/livestock organizations.
