B.A.S.S. Gilliland appointed to habitat board
Wednesday, February 24, 2021
B.A.S.S. conservation director Gene Gilliland has accepted a seat on the National Fish Habitat Partnership (NFHP) Board. Chartered by Congress in 2006, NFHP coordinates 20 regionally-based Fish Habitat Partnerships, each working to improve fish habitat, and has supported more than 1,000 projects benefiting fish habitat in all 50 states.

My goal in volunteering for the NFHP Board is to ensure that freshwater recreational fishing is a priority in the decision-making and funding process.
