The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is launching its “75 Years Wild” photo contest encouraging people to explore the natural beauty of Florida’s Wildlife Management Area system.

Across the state, the nearly 6-million acre WMA system is conserving fish and wildlife populations and offering outdoor recreation for the public, including fishing, hunting and wildlife viewing. On the WMAs, the public also has access to nationally recognized trails for paddling, hiking and bird watching.
