Volunteer Projects
The game and fish department hopes to educate as many people as possible about wildlife, its habitat, and its conservation. Because our staff is limited, much of this effort depends on volunteers. If you are interested in wildlife and the outdoors and think educating the public is important, we have a project that you can help us teach. Check out the volunteer projects below and contact us.
Boat and Water Safety- Teach about water safety using the Boating Basics Course and hands-on learning trunk.
Conservation Volunteers- Assist in outdoor activities such as planting trees, maintaining properties, collecting and entering data, and work at area lakes.
Fur Harvester Education - Coming Soon- Share your knowledge and expertise with all ages and levels of fur hunters and trappers, from beginners to experienced. You do not need to be an experienced trapper to help teach this course. Individuals with a background in teaching or knowledge of furbearer biology are encouraged to become instructors.
Hooked on Fishing- Teach basics of fishing, aquatic habitats, and fish species found in the state. Take students fishing with department provided equipment.
Hunter Education- Teach students about safe gun handling, wildlife conservation, and hunter ethics.
