BRADLEY BRIDGES

BRADLEY BRIDGES was born and raised in the east Arkansas delta region. His father introduced him to exploring, hunting and fishing in the lower White River, tributaries, oxbow lakes and the forests of the Dale Bumper’s White River National Wildlife Refuge. Conservation and natural resource stewardship was a way of life for Bradley, and an important part of the local community and economy. Bradley moved to the Ozark mountains of Northwest Arkansas to attend the University of Arkansas, where he studied Civil Engineering. This allowed him to explore the headwaters and upper tributaries of the river he grew up on. Bradley was married on the banks of the upper Buffalo River, and works to mentor the next generation in regard to resource conservation. He can be reached at Info@NativeFishCoalition.org
