WSFR has formed a Wildlife Restoration/Hunter Education (WR/HE) Advisory Team consisting of WSFR subject matter experts (including a Service Solicitor) who will receive inquiries regarding implementation of the two new laws and recommend a course of action. The Team’s recommendations will be shared with WSFR Regional Managers and the results posted for Regions and States to refer to when making decisions related to submitting grant proposals. Recommendations will support the Regional offices ability to make timely and consistent determinations for activities in grant proposals.
WSFR intends the WR/HE Advisory Team and WSFR Managers to be poised to quickly address questions/issues coming in. Some topics may require a longer process to resolve.
WSFR staff may submit inquiries using the form linked below.
States must contact their Regional WSFR Office and their WSFR contact will submit the inquiry. WSFR staff may also submit inquiries from NGOs or other partners. Please provide your WSFR contact with: 1. Your name, title, organization, and contact information (phone/email); 2. Specific questions, issues, scenarios you have related to the Modernizing the Pittman-Robertson Fund for Tomorrow’s Needs Act and or the Target Practice and Marksmanship Training Support Act; and 3. How you inquiry relates to an existing or anticipated grant proposal. Supporting information may also be supplied.
