This is what they said in the reference. Why a name change?
Our mission is to protect Virginia’s wildlife and habitat and promote outdoor recreation. We wanted our new name to reflect the wide range of wildlife conservation responsibilities and opportunities that our agency has, from hunting and fishing, to wildlife watching, public lands, boating, and outdoor recreation. It’s simply that our name has now caught up to what we’re doing.
