Cash spent by B.C. outdoorsmen on their hunting licenses will soon be funnelled back into a new agency tasked with wildlife management, announced the B.C. government on March 22.
A press release from the Ministry of Forest, Lands and Natural Resources detailed the announcement made by forests minister Steve Thomson.
The agency will be funded by the $9 to $10 million the province collects through the renewal of hunting licenses each year, while the province plans to kick in $5 million in startup funds for the first year.
