[su_spoiler title=”No Tax Money for Wildlife?” style=”fancy”]No tax money is used to conserve, restore and manage Ohio’s wildlife and wildlife habitat. Birding meccas like Killdeer Plains, Big Island and Magee March are supported partly by license fees paid by hunters and fisherpersons. Other sources of support are donations (such as the income tax checkoff) to the Ohio Wildlife Diversity Fund, and the purchase of wildlife license plates featuring the cardinal, bald eagle or other wildlife. The Wildlife Legacy Stamp gives people who love wildlife but do not hunt or fish a way to support habitat conservation! [/su_spoiler]
