American Wilderness Leadership School
SIX 2010 SPONSORSHIPS AWARDED for
AWLS
The Northeast Wisconsin Chapter
of Safari Club International
and the Northeast Wisconsin Chapter of 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 and
students enables
them to share this information with their students and peers which in turn
impacts the future.
Each year we
send a select group of educators and students to one of
three different
AWLS Camps (AWLS West-Wyoming, AWLS
Central-Iowa or AWLS North-Minnesota).
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 Northeast Wisconsin Chapter of
Safari Club International and Northeast Wisconsin Chapter of Sables
support the AWLS program and the privilege to sponsor six (6)
individuals for a 2010 AWLS
workshops, of the six individuals selected 2 teachers (Chris Clark
and Nels Jensen) and 1 student (Kira Minehart) will be attending the AWLS West
Camp in Wyoming. The other 3 teachers (Debra Dicks, Roberta "Bobbie" Windus
and Kathy Doyle) will be attending the AWLS Camp in
Iowa. 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.
