This week’s blog was written in 2018 by Sean, a Drummers alum. Sean works for the Pennsylvania Game Commission as a State Game Warden. He graduated from Penn State with a degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Science. In this flashback blog, Sean writes about his summer experience with the South Dakota Game, Fish, and Parks as a Big Game Research Intern.
At the Wildlife Leadership Academy, our Adult Mentors are essential in guiding and inspiring the next generation of conservation leaders. In this special edition of our In Their Own Words series, we’re excited to share the perspective of Janine, a first-year mentor whose meaningful connection with her team made a lasting impact.
This week’s Outreach Highlight features Lana, a passionate Conservation Ambassador who took a creative and community-centered approach to sharing what she learned through the Wildlife Leadership Academy. Lana’s outreach was rooted in her desire to educate others, whether standing in front of a group or simply exploring nature with loved ones. She used every opportunity to connect with others in her community.
Our Stepping Stones Program was off the hook this past weekend! The program used fly fishing as a recreational pathway for students to learn about fisheries biology, conservation, and leadership skills development.
