2008 West Virginia Wildlife Calendars Are Now Available

“The 2008 West Virginia Wildlife Calendars are now available for everyone to enjoy,” according to Curtis I. Taylor, Chief of the Wildlife Resources Section of the Division of Natural Resources.

The cover of this beautiful wall calendar features an outstanding painting of a black bear yearling lumbering over a log. This highly-detailed painting is only one of the 12 beautiful paintings in this year’s calendar, which also includes wild turkeys, a red fox, several birds and a picturesque vista of Dolly Sods. The calendar also contains important hunting, trapping, fishing and wildlife viewing information, lists regulations, and includes feature articles on public shooting ranges located throughout the state and current fish research involving tagged trout.

“The calendar is full of interesting daily facts and its $8 price tag makes it a terrific bargain and a great holiday gift. Everyone who enjoys and ventures into the outdoors will want to own one,” Taylor said.

The 2008 West Virginia Wildlife Calendar is available at WVDNR District Offices, department stores, newsstands, convenience marts and food stores throughout the state or through the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, P.O. Box 67, Elkins, WV 26241, phone (304) 637-0245. Make checks payable to WVDNR in the amount of $9 for each calendar, which includes shipping and handling (WV residents add $0.48 for tax; VISA, MasterCard, Discover and American Express are accepted). Organizations, clubs and civic groups can also profit by selling the Wildlife Calendar as part of their fund-raising activities. Interested organizations should contact the WVDNR at the above address for more information.
