QDMA Cape Fear River Branch
Earns National Award for Educational Efforts
Bogart, Ga. – Members of the Quality Deer Management Association’s Cape Fear River Branch, in eastern North Carolina, received the 2007 QDMA Educational Branch of the Year award during the QDMA National Convention and Whitetail Expo. The award annually honors a QDMA branch for its focus on educational programs that promote better deer and better deer hunting.
Other finalists for the award included the Delaware Branch, the Eastern Oklahoma Branch, the Northeast Michigan Branch, and the Mason-Dixon Branch, which includes members from Pennsylvania and Maryland.
“A common denominator of all the finalist Branches is that they stay busy with events that help educate the public about Quality Deer Management and the QDMA,” said Gene Newman, QDMA Director of Branch Development. “The Cape Fear River Branch held multiple educational events, including a daylong community-college level Complete White-Tailed Deer Management workshop. They also have already started their own youth program, called QDM for Kids.
“The Cape Fear River Branch is a wonderful example of QDMA’s focus on education and outreach,” Newman added. “We congratulate them on being Educational Branch of the Year.”
Founded in 1988, QDMA is a national nonprofit wildlife conservation organization with 40,000 members in all 50 states and several foreign countries. Membership in QDMA is open to anyone interested in better deer and better deer hunting, and committed to ethical hunting, sound deer management and the preservation of the deer-hunting heritage.
