Pryor Named to Board of Wildlife Mississippi

STONEVILLE, MS - Wildlife Mississippi has recently named Mr. Roger Pryor, the Founder and President of Pryor and Morrow Architects in Columbus and Tupelo, as the newest member of the organization's 16-member Board of Trustees.

According to James L. Cummins, Executive Director of Wildlife Mississippi, "Mr. Pryor is a true friend of conservation and he is well known for his dedication to the community and to Mississippi's fish, wildlife and timber resources. I look forward to working closely with him to improve them. His knowledge of ecologically responsible land management and his vast knowledge of Northeast Mississippi will be great assets in the conservation work of Wildlife Mississippi."

Pryor states, "Fish, wildlife and forest resources are vital to the people of Mississippi, and wise use of them are important to our environment and economy. The further conservation of habitat is a giant step in the right direction toward ensuring that we can have environmental protection while at the same time maintaining economic growth throughout our state."

"Wildlife Mississippi is rapidly moving ahead, leading the conservation movement throughout Mississippi. I enjoy working with my family on my tree farm in Clay County and I'm looking forward to being part of an organization that is working to ensure that the opportunities I have are available for my four children," continued Pryor.

Pryor's goals for Wildlife Mississippi are to not only increase the number of members in Northeast Mississippi, but increase the awareness of the organization's current efforts as well as further expand conservation programs that will improve the fish and wildlife resources in the region.

Pryor, a fifth generation Mississippian, is married to Stephanie Sanders Pryor. They have four children: James, Alan, David and Sarah. A graduate of Georgia Tech and the University of Pennsylvania, he makes his home in West Point.
