We’re very excited to announce WWA has been selected as a 2017 Cellcom Green Gift recipient. The organization received a $2500 Green Gift
from Cellcom to continue work on its Abrams property. The funding from this grant, along with a hopeful future continuing partnership with the NorthEast Wisconsin Deer Management Alliance, will finish out these final two blinds, in a fashion similar to the three existing ones on the property. All five blinds will now provide excellent hunting opportunities, due to the extensive food plot re-working & expansions done by life member Erich Schultz, of Pro Plots, LLC. As part of the press done for this gift we’re excited to share this news clip of WWA Executive Director Don Kirby’s interview:
Cellcom’s press release:
Abrams, WI – November 8, 2017. The Wisconsin Waterfowl Association (WWA) works to further restoration and conservation of the state’s waterfowl and wetland resources and implement education for Wisconsin youth that heighten awareness about these resources. The group continues work on its Abrams property, a 152-acre area that is open to the public for hunting and wildlife viewing and includes a number of accessible features for hunters with disabilities. The Green Gift from Cellcom will fund the addition of two enclosed accessible binds for deer or turkey hunting on raised platforms.
“The opportunity to have a large) property open to the public, which features significant access for disabled Veterans and other differently-abled persons, to use the property for a variety of pursuits – all within a short drive of a large metropolitan area, is very unique,” said Don Kirby, executive director of WWA. “Due to its easy access to the highway, and near-by location to both Green Bay and Oconto, the property allows ready viewing of many species of birds and other wildlife. The disabled access trails also allow ready travel, and invite those who might not otherwise, to explore the outdoors.” Read on for the full press release…
