RALEIGH, N.C. (July 26) – Wildlife in North Carolina, the flagship publication of the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, has been named the top state wildlife magazine in the nation.
The distinction came from the Association for Conservation Information, a nonprofit for natural resource, environmental and wildlife communicators, at its annual conference, held this year on July 8-13 in Lenox, Mass. A panel of judges determined that Wildlife in North Carolina was the best of those published by state wildlife agencies in 2006.
“It’s hard to go wrong when you cover a state with the diversity of natural resources and as many opportunities for nature lovers and sportsmen that North Carolina has,” said Greg Jenkins, editor of Wildlife in North Carolina. “Our talented staff and many excellent contributors work hard to accurately portray the beauty and variety of our state’s wild animals and wild places. We’re proud to receive this award.”
Wildlife in North Carolina has ranked among the top three wildlife magazines for five of the past six years, including winning three second-place awards. Montana Outdoors, which won the competition in 2004 and 2005, placed second this year, while Minnesota Conservation Volunteer was third.
Recognized as an excellent gift, subscriptions are affordable at one-year (12 issues) for $12; a three-year subscription is $30 and a lifetime subscription is $150. To subscribe, go online to www.ncwildlife.org or call toll-free at 1-866-945-3746.
