Georgia Power Donates $150,000 to Upgrade the Go Fish Education Center in Perry, Georgia
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife Resources Division announced in Perry on November 12 that it recently received a $150,000 donation from Georgia Power to enhance and update the Go Fish Education Center.
Georgia DNR Commissioner Walter Rabon said the department values partnerships that strengthen educational opportunities and connect people with Georgia's natural resources, calling Georgia Power's generous donation a great example of that shared commitment, and said the updates will create new opportunities for visitors to learn about fishing, conservation, and Georgia's aquatic resources.
The Go Fish Education Center, located in Perry, Georgia, provides hands-on educational experiences that connect visitors with Georgia's native fish, aquatic habitats, and fishing opportunities. Through interactive exhibits, educational programs, a working fish hatchery, and a stocked casting pond, the center promotes fishing participation, supports fisheries management and conservation, and encourages people of all ages to explore and enjoy Georgia's fisheries.
Jennifer Winn, vice president of Land for Georgia Power, said the company appreciates the state's natural resources and works every day alongside the Department of Natural Resources to protect them for future generations, calling the center an incredible facility for Georgia youth and saying the company is proud to support improvements to make it even more engaging for visitors.
