What Benjamin has to say about Wildlife Leadership Academy:

My experience with the Wildlife Leadership Academy opened my eyes to wildlife and natural resource conservation. It was a great week where I was pushed to succeed, and excelled. I learned more about grouse and habitat management, silviculture in particular. I am always proud to list the Wildlife Leadership Academy on applications or to talk about it in conversation.
