This week’s blog was written by Trevor, a Bucktails alum. Trevor enjoys being in the outdoors and is an avid sportsman who hunts and traps. He is considering pursuing a career in wildlife biology because he would like to become a State Park Ranger.
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.
We are continually inspired by the passion of our students as they take action in their communities. This week, we are thrilled to highlight the outstanding outreach efforts of Samantha, a Brookies field school alum, who has gone above and beyond in her community engagement.
As the year draws to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the many milestones and accomplishments of 2024. It has been an incredible year of growth for the Wildlife Leadership Academy, and we are excited to share the highlights with you!
