A Grand Opening for Conservation
Southeast Region, September 21, 2004
Print Friendly Version
Partnerships, promotions, participation! The Bass Pro Shops Grand Opening in September at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina extolled the spirited meanings of these terms. The National Wildlife Refuge System was recognized with store exhibits, refuge guides at check-out counters, and merchandise bags displaying Fish and Wildlife Service and National Wildlife Refuge system logos. Twenty-six Service employees and 19 volunteers donated 630 hours of work during the first three days of the store's Grand Opening. Bass Pro Shops will donate an estimated $30,000 to Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge. The generous donation will be used to open up the refuge's first nature trail system, including a canoe launch facility which is the first of its kind on the Waccamaw River. In conjunction with filming the Grand Opening, Bass Pro Shops filmed a segment profiling Waccamaw NWR and refuge partners, the footage to air this fall on the Bass Pro Shops TV program.
