Dear Reader,

Welcome to the new Florida Wildlife magazine!  The official magazine of the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is back—with plans to be bigger and better than ever.

We plan to pack our pages with coverage of the many ways to enjoy our natural resources. You'll see articles devoted to the heritage of hunting and fishing in Florida, as well as boating, camping, wildlife viewing and other forms of outdoor recreation, plus news about what the FWC is doing to manage the fish and wildlife resources of our great state. And, we'll continue featuring the breathtaking photography and art that are synonymous with Florida Wildlife.

There is something else you may notice among the pages—advertising. By including paid ads, we can offset part of the cost of publishing Florida Wildlife. Each issue will contain no more than eight pages of ads. You'll always find at least 28 pages of articles, art and photography devoted to the bountiful natural resources that make life in Florida so special.

We hope you like what you see enough to subscribe to Florida Wildlife and tell your friends to subscribe too. Better yet, buy a gift subscription for a friend or loved one. Look inside for subscription information.

Please let us know what you think about Florida Wildlife. Tell us what you like, donât like or would like to see in future issues of Florida Wildlife. We look forward to hearing from you and to bringing you Florida Wildlife magazine for many years to come.

Sincerely,

Kenneth D. Haddad, Executive Director

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
