Wilson Awarded International Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies’s Top Honor


Steve N. Wilson, veteran director of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, has been given the prestigious Seth Gordon Award of the International Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. The Seth Gordon Award, the top tribute among professional fish and wildlife administrators, was presented in Scottsdale, Arizone, at the Association’s annual conference.

Wilson, Game and Fish director since 1979, was cited for his achievements with the Arkansas agency through the years but especially for his leading rolfe in the successful passage of a state constitutional amendment last November to create a conservation sales tax. It is for the use of four state natural resource agencies - Game and Fish, Arkansas State Parks, Arkansas Heritage Department and Keep Arkansas Beautiful.
