March is here, which means the Wildlife Leadership Academy office has been flooded with final outreach record book submissions. The Class of 2024 has been doing some incredible projects since their field school experience last summer. This week, we are highlighting the work of Tucker, a Bass alum, who has made a significant impact through his outreach efforts, engaging in education, leadership, and service projects.
As Giving Tuesday approaches, we reflect on the incredible journeys of our students through the Wildlife Leadership Academy. This year, we are aiming to raise $2,500 to fund scholarships for the Ralph Abele Excellence in Outreach award.
After graduating as Conservation Advocate or as Conservation Ambassadors, students are charged with completing outreach in education, service, creative arts, media engagement, and outdoor mentorship. Students are currently well on their way to completing hundreds of hours of outreach, reaching thousands of people across the Commonwealth and beyond! Here at the Academy, it is essential to demonstrate what outreach can look like. Read this week’s blog to see what our full-time staff do as outreach!
This week’s blog was written by Skyla B., an Ursids alumni. Skyla is Wolf Clan from Cherokee Nation. She attended the Ursids field school because she was interested in learning more about bears. While Skyla was at WLA, she learned so much about conservation and other things she didn’t even knew existed! Her favorite parts were learning about plants, being able to understand more about her own Cherokee heritage, and helping other realize why Indigenous perspectives are so important in everything we do. Skyla would like to use her opportunity as a blog writer to share Cherokee history, heritage, and culture so others can appreciate why it has a place in wildlife conservation.
This week’s blog is a guest post written by Andrew H., a Bass alumni. Andrew shares his experience of his time at field school this past summer as well as his outreach projects.
