Today, about half of students graduating with wildlife degrees have never hunted and know little about it or the reasons why people hunt. These students will be among the next generation of natural resource managers.

The Conservation Leaders for Tomorrow (CLFT) program is a three-day workshop for wildlife and natural resource upperclass and graduate students who have never held a hunting license. At a CLFT workshop, these students experience a blend of classroom and field instruction designed to give them an understanding of the biological basis and traditions of hunting, and teach shooting skills and hunting safety. They also have the opportunity to experience the hunt for themselves, alongside responsible, safe hunting guides and mentors.

The only cost to students is a few days away from campus. Lodging, food and transportation are provided. The few days will provide career-building benefits that are invaluable. It also is a resume- and character-building adventure that truly has a lifelong impact.
