Each of the
nine sponsorships pays the $800.00 registration fee for the weeklong
workshop. This includes room, board, linens and towels with pick up and
return to the airport at Jackson Hole—if they arrive by commercial
airline. Other travel costs to and from are each
individual’s responsibility. The SCI NEWI
Chapter and the SCI NEWI Sables believe in the AWLS program. The
future of hunting depends on presenting the facts about conservation,
sustainable use of our resources and the part hunters’ play in this
vital part of our future. Enlightening teachers/educators enables them
to share this information with their students which in turn impacts the
future. And, what better way to prepare future generations than by
exposing 15-18 year old students who already have an interest in
environmental issues to the same factual information.
There are seven (7)
teachers/educators who received 2008 AWLS sponsorships. Elisabeth Porior,
Roberta Windus, D.J. Huddleston, Travis Moore, Jeremy Traynor, Lars Long
and Scott Resch. We find
them teaching science, special ed/disabled, environmental science,
technology, physical ed and at the elementary level. Here are some brief
reasons why these teachers/educators want to experience AWLS: It is with great pleasure that the NE
WI SCI Chapter and NE WI Sables support the AWLS program and a privilege
to sponsor these seven (7) individuals for a
2008 AWLS workshop. The impact this experience will have on them and on
future generations is gratifying. We wish them a delightful and
rewarding learning and life-enriching endeavor. For further
information about AWLS (American Wilderness Leadership School) contact
the NEWI SCI Director of Education. Contact SCI NEWI’s Director of Education,
Calvin Ort at 920-984-3591 or

Teacher Application Form for an AWLS 2009 sponsorship. Completed forms
need to be submitted to him by April 1, 2009, and successful applicants
