Outdoor Environmental Education
Encouraging conservation through education and awareness

What better way to gain respect and an appreciation for the outdoors and the natural environment than to learn a few skills that put you directly in touch with nature?  Often it's the sportsmen and women who lead the charge on conservation and stewardship of our fish, wildlife, and resources.  Without knowing what's beyond the city limits, how can we possibly know what we stand to loose if our natural environment is taken for granted?

In these instructional courses, not only will you hone your outdoor skills, but hopefully gain more insight into the importance of nurturing our natural resources.  It's up to us to pass on the opportunities of the wild.

Available courses:
