WILDLIFE & SPORT FISH<br />
RESTORATION:<br />
70 Years <strong>of</strong> Restoring,<br />
Managing <strong>and</strong> Researching<br />
<strong>Fish</strong> <strong>and</strong> Wildlife<br />
Our thanks to hunters, shooters, anglers, boaters <strong>and</strong> our industry<br />
partners! With the purchase <strong>of</strong> firearms <strong>and</strong> ammunition, archery<br />
equipment, fishing equipment, <strong>and</strong> motorboat fuels, hunters,<br />
anglers <strong>and</strong> manufacturers pay excise taxes that are distributed<br />
to state fish <strong>and</strong> wildlife agencies for approved projects.<br />
The U.S. <strong>Fish</strong> <strong>and</strong> Wildlife Service joins state fish <strong>and</strong> wildlife agencies,<br />
private industry <strong>and</strong> the public in a partnership to conserve<br />
fish <strong>and</strong> wildlife resources.<br />
With help from over $100 million in federal aid funding over nearly<br />
three quarters <strong>of</strong> a century, N.H. <strong>Fish</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Game</strong> has been able to:<br />
• Gain knowledge through research<br />
• Manage fish <strong>and</strong> wildlife populations<br />
• Acquire Wildlife Management Areas<br />
• Improve <strong>and</strong> protect aquatic habitat<br />
• Restore fish <strong>and</strong> wildlife populations<br />
• Conduct Hunter <strong>and</strong> Aquatic Education programs<br />
• Construct, upgrade <strong>and</strong> maintain more than 100 public access<br />
sites for boating <strong>and</strong> fishing.<br />
Your purchase <strong>of</strong> hunting <strong>and</strong> fishing equipment <strong>and</strong> motorboat<br />
fuels supports wildlife <strong>and</strong> sport fish restoration <strong>and</strong> boating<br />
access facilities.<br />
