Join The Angler Conservation Team

Are your fisheries' resources worth protecting? Do you want to improve fishing in your area?

If your answers are yes, then you'll want to join the BASS Angler Conservation Team (ACT). The ACT is a network of leisure anglers like you who volunteer to protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitats. ACT members are invited to help fellow anglers, communities and natural resource managers with grassroots projects such as building and placing fish habitats in lakes, planting native aquatic vegetation, ensuring angler access to waterways and more.

The time and work is rewarding. Working hands-on with fisheries biologists and resource experts gives BASS Angler Conservation Team participants a unique look at how fish and wildlife are managed in the wild. In turn, you will have a deeper understanding and appreciation of our natural resources and our need to protect them. Full story
