Since 1992 T.E.R.N has funded over $1,500,000 in projects to help preserve Georgia's precious Nongame and Endangered Wildlife for future generations. At the annual meeting in June, the members approved an additional $46,000 in funding for the 2023-2024 period. Those projects included student and teacher educational programs, wildlife surveys and support of the Youth Birding Competition at the Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center to name a few.
