Recreation resources must be promoted, protected.

Article Excerpt
Mississippi needs a dedicated initiative to look out for its outdoors recreational resources.

From Momentum Mississippi to assist business and industrial economic development, to Keep Mississippi Beautiful maintaining highway right-of-ways clean and trash free, we have any number of enterprises created to garner public interest in the public good.

What Mississippi does not yet have is a clearly defined singular mission dealing with all the many aspects of the wonderful natural resources within the 47,233 square miles of this state's boundaries.
