      This wildlife-focused leadership program for youth aged 14-17 will equip participating students with the necessary skills to become ambassadors for conservation in their home communities.  In addition to intensive field experiences in wildlife biology, this program enables youth develop important leadership skills, such as public speaking, critical thinking, and team work.

       

      The Wildlife Leadership Academy brings the biological expertise of Audubon PA, Kutztown University, PA Game Commission, Penn State University, Ruffed Grouse Society, Quality Deer Management Association, and other partners directly to high school students.  Major topics covered during each five-day residential field school include:

       

      ·         WILDIFE BIOLOGY

      ·         HABITAT MANAGEMENT

      ·         RESEARCH AND MONITORING TECHNIQUES

      ·         ROLE OF HUNTING IN WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT

      ·         NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY AND JOURNALING

      ·         COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND EDUCATION

       

      After the field school, we will continue to mentor the youth throughout the year as they participate in at least three public outreach activities relating to wildlife and habitat conservation.
     
       

      *APPLICATION AND PROGRAM INFORMATION*
