American Wilderness Leadership School
SEVEN 2009 SPONSORSHIPS AWARDED for
AWLS
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.
Each year we
send a select group of educators to one of five different
AWLS Camps (AWLS West-Wyoming, AWLS East-Main, AWLS
Central-Iowa, AWLS North-Minnesota or AWLS Great Lakes
-Michigan).
We
pay the registration fee ranging from $250 - $800 for the
weeklong workshop. This includes room, board, linens and
towels . Other travel
costs to and from the workshop and personal expenses are each individual’s responsibility.

The programs
content consists of academic lectures, discussions and field trips
covering orienteering, survival skills, aquatic and wetland ecology, wildlife ecology,
environmental ethics, natural resource management and conservation,
environmental leadership, wildlife management and firearm use and
safety.
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
the privilege to sponsor seven (7) individuals for a 2009 AWLS
workshop, of the seven educators 4 will be attending the AWLS West
Camp, two will be attending the the AWLS East Camp and one will be
attending the AWLS Central Camp. 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.
