The sea turtle nesting season in Georgia has begun! Kris Williams of  the Caretta Research Project and a group of volunteers patrolling Wassaw Island's beach discovered the year’s first loggerhead nest Monday night. 

Beginning June 1, sportsmen and women of all ages can apply electronically for quota hunts including all adult/child, deer, alligator, waterfowl, dove and many others, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division. 

Georgia natural resources leaders today announced the addition of more than 1,050 acres, known as the Howell Tract, to the Sheffield Wildlife Management Area in Paulding County.  This newly unveiled tract promises to enhance Sheffield and the adjacently-located Paulding Forest WMA by increasing the available public land and the protection provided to an important ecological area. 

Time to get the whole family outside for an outdoor fun day!  Come to the Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center’s JAKES Day on Saturday, May 11.  This FREE fun-filled event runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Discovery Area located on the property and will be held rain or shine.
