S. Res. 313 is a Senate resolution that honors the Yell County Wildlife Federation, an Arkansas conservation organization founded in 1946 that has become the oldest of its kind in the state. The resolution recognizes the organization's decades of volunteer work and conservation achievements, including efforts to restore wildlife habitats in the Petit Jean River and Bearcat Hollow areas, reintroduce elk to Arkansas for the first time since 1848, and contribute over 18,000 volunteer hours to the Ozark National Forest. The resolution also acknowledges the federation's commitment to youth education through sponsoring fishing derbies, hunter education programs, and scholarship support for students at Arkansas Tech University. As a ceremonial resolution, it carries no funding or regulatory requirements—it simply expresses Senate appreciation for the organization's service to Arkansas. The measure was introduced by Senators Cotton and Boozman on July 8, 2025.
