WSFR History

Over eighty-three years of successful wildlife management is the remarkable legacy of the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act (approved by Congress in 1937). Along with the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act (approved in 1950), it is the foundation of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program (WSFR) and a cornerstone of the North American model of fish and wildlife management – a model venerated for its principles, celebrated for its performance, and embraced for its promise for the future. The two Acts mark the triumph of American conservation, founded on public ownership of wildlife, reliance on partnerships, and commitment to preserve our natural heritage.
