Lindsey Lemmons is executive director of the Mississippi Wildlife Federation. At this year's National Wildlife Federation Annual Meeting, we had an opportunity to talk about lobbying for the Recovering America's Wildlife Act, the Missisppi Wildlife Federation and how they advocate to protect wetlands in Mississippi, why the Yazoo Pumps are a really bad idea, how nonprofits raise the funds to perform the conservation work they do, Catfish & Kids, MWF’s Wildlife Extravaganza coming up in August, the Camo Coalition, and how Mississippians can get involved in conservation with the Mississippi Wildlife Federation through their Habitat Stewards and Adopt-a-Stream programs.
