§ COHA Presents Senator Harman With Leadership In Conservation Award





Senator Bob Dutton (R-Rancho Cucamonga) has introduced SB 1172, a bill that would help ensure that hunting license stamp and tag monies fully benefit the game species and habitats that they were intended to support. The measure is sponsored by the California Outdoor Heritage Alliance (COHA). “It only makes common sense that when hunting tags or stamps are purchased that the money raised from those sales goes back towards funding the conservation of those species pursued by sportsmen,” said Senator Dutton.

COHA has selected Senator Tom Harman (R-Huntington Beach) for its Leadership in Conservation Award. This award recognizes Senator Harman’s support of hunting and science-based wildlife conservation during the 2007 State Legislative Session. Mark Hennelly, Vice President of COHA, stated, “Senator Harman well understood the hunting community’s concerns and was an active opponent of anti-sportsmen legislative measures; in addition, he was highly supportive of our efforts to secure funding for wildlife conservation activities during the water bond negotiations."
