The Georgia Department of Natural Resources has announced a $150,000 donation from Georgia Power to support improvements at the Go Fish Education Center in Perry, Georgia.

The donation, announced Thursday, November 12, will help enhance and update the center’s educational facilities, which introduce visitors to Georgia’s native fish species, aquatic habitats and recreational fishing opportunities.

Operated by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division, the center provides hands-on learning experiences for visitors of all ages.

Its attractions include interactive exhibits, educational programs, a working fish hatchery and a stocked casting pond where visitors can learn about fishing.

Georgia DNR Commissioner Walter Rabon said partnerships with organizations such as Georgia Power help strengthen educational opportunities and connect people with the state’s natural resources.

The center also supports efforts to educate the public about fisheries management, aquatic conservation and the importance of protecting Georgia’s waterways.

Georgia Power Vice President of Land Jennifer Winn said the company supports efforts to protect Georgia’s natural resources and introduce young people to outdoor recreation.

The Go Fish Education Center serves families, school groups and visitors interested in learning more about freshwater fishing and the state’s aquatic wildlife.

The new funding is intended to make the center’s educational experiences more engaging for visitors.

The announcement did not identify specific construction projects or provide a timetable for completing the improvements.
