TYLER STEPHENS

I recognize the right and duty of this generation to develop and use the natural resources of our land; but I do not recognize the right to waste them, or to rob, by wasteful use, the generations that come after us.
— Theodore Roosevelt

TYLER STEPHENS grew up in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Growing up, Tyler spent most of his free time wade fishing the rivers and creeks around home. He never grew out of it, and now shares his love of the outdoors with as many people as he can. Several years ago Tyler helped bring The Mayfly Project to Fayetteville, which was a great way to teach foster children about conservation. Tyler has taught his family about the environment as well, which he refers to as one of his greatest thrills. He is very excited to be helping to bring NFC to Arkansas to further advance conservation in the area. As Tyler says, if we don’t step in to protect our wild native fish, who will?
