Dan Kimmel here. I've been active in outdoors issues more than 26 years - speaking at my first public meeting over 20 years ago regarding building a public access site on Webber Dam Pond. I tend to concentrate on issues that affect bass fishing and tournaments, but that can be a broader issue than some might think encompassing clean water, healthy and numerous wetlands, habitat (& MoreFish.org), wastewater treatment and ground runoff (nonpoint source pollution), aquatic nuisance species issues, public access issues, funding for wildlife/fish programs, and all the regulations and law related to the outdoors.
I spent 16 years as conservation director for one bass federation or the other. It can be time-consuming, but I truly believe you can't just fish, hunt or enjoy the outdoors the way you wish, without putting some effort back into the outdoors. It truly is a precious gift that needs care and protection. Of course, I hope to help by providing accurate information to help us use our time wisely.
