Watch for Watchable Wildlife Checkoff on State Tax Form 012104
State Game and Fish Department outreach biologist Jeb Williams reminds North Dakota taxpayers to look for the Watchable Wildlife checkoff on the state tax form.
The 2003 state income tax form gives wildlife enthusiasts an opportunity to support nongame wildlife like songbirds and birds of prey, while at the same time contributing to programs that help everyone enjoy all wildlife.
"The department has used funds received from the annual check-off to produce educational materials, such as a series of bird posters and a variety of publications," Williams said. "Other activities include birding field trips, small grants to assist groups with conservation projects, winter bird survey, bluebird conservation program and nursing home bird feeder program."
Look for the Watchable Wildlife Fund checkoff on lines 29 or 33 of your short form state tax return. The checkoff is an easy way to voluntarily contribute part of your tax refund (line 29) to sustain this long standing program. Or, if you have tax due, you can make a donation on line 33. In addition, direct donations to the program are accepted any time of year.
