Youth Programs
YOUTH ARE OUR FUTURE, align their priorities with respect for our natural surroundings.
Montana WSF is proud to sponsor youth conservation and education events each year.
IT IS FUNDAMENTAL TO TEACH OUR KIDS THE IMPORTANCE OF OUTDOOR RECREATION AND CONSERVATION.
Montana WSF earmarks $5,000 every year for youth conservation and education events/camps. These events teach youth about the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation, ethical hunting, and ethical trapping. Each year Montana WSF is reaches over 500 area youth to teach them about the issues facing our wild sheep. Through these events and camps, kids learn about habitat, disease, and the importance of separation between wild and domestic sheep. They learn about what Montana WSF is doing to help reduce these issues for wild sheep through fundraising, actively volunteering and responsibly hunting our wild sheep.
