Inspire a Kid

 

What can we all do to ensure the future health and viability of wildlife and their habitats? The answer lies in how we inspire youth to experience the outdoors. The most important component to the future of our wildlife is having people who want to continue conservation. We are successful today in addressing our most pressing challenges because the people of our state value wildlife and are willing to put passion into action. It is critical for those who are old hands in the outdoors to invest time and effort into a kid today.

 

So the idea is quite simple: “Inspire a kid; it’s for life.” Take youth outdoors and show them why wildlife and our outdoor resources are so valuable to the Cowboy State.
