Current Issues

The Arkansas Wildlife Federation takes responsible positions on conservation issues that impact our state's natural resources, hunting, fishing, or other outdoor activities. Listed below are some of the major issues we are involved with at this time:

Support and defense of Amendment 35 that the AWF sponsored more than 50 years ago to give more independence to the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission.
Support and defense of the Conservation Sales Tax.
Opposition to the proposed expansion of the navigation channel on the Lower White River. For more information, please refer to the Act Now to Save the White River! section of our webpage.
Opposition to plans to withdraw tremendous amounts of water from the Lower White River to irrigate the Grand Prairie. The AWF supports on-farm conservation efforts and other methods to reduce water usage. For more information, please refer to the Act Now to Save the White River! section of our webpage.
Opposition to in-stream gravel mining on high-quality streams.

For information on these issues, please contact the AWF office.
