“My son and I had so much fun competing against each other on its (the SCWF Plishing Challenge) opening day”, messaged James Bateman, a 2023 Plishing Challenge participant. SCWF hosted our second annual SCWF Plishing Challenge over the summer of 2023. We shared information about fishing, litter, conservation, best fishing practices, and more with our participants to help them make the most of the challenge and their time on the water.
Do you have a fishing rod in your garage? Or maybe even a cane pole? If so, the South Carolina Wildlife Federation (SCWF) invites you to join our Plishing Challenge this summer! Plishing is a combination of the Swedish phrase “plocka upp”, meaning litter pick up, and fishing! Our Plishing Challenge is designed to keep the public engaged with fishing, and to help keep our waterways clean by using best fishing practices, picking up litter, and catching fish! This conservation initiative is a great way to enjoy South Carolina’s aquatic resources, practice conservation, and win prizes.
Sara Green was honored to appear on the popular South Carolina ETV program, “Making it Grow” to share SCWF’s upcoming projects including, Plishing, Community Habitats, Wildlife And Industry Together (WAIT), and other programs! You can check out the video here.
Published in Columbia Star - “In addition to advocating for wildlife throughout the state, the federation has also worked tirelessly to educate South Carolinians about the state’s wildlife and its habitat, outdoor recreation, and conservation practices.”
Our inaugural SCWF Plishing Challenge is complete! After the summer-long event, we are excited to announce the overall winners for the challenge along with a randomly selected participant who will each receive a $500 gift card to Palmetto State Armory. We are grateful for everyone who registered and participated in the challenge as well as all of the sponsors who helped make this event possible.
