The Arizona Wildlife Conservancy is dedicated to assisting its’ user groups develop educational programs that will aid in recruitment and retention of each activity.

Current Projects: We are working with Arizona  Department of Game and Fish staff to develop an expanded phase of the DGF hunter safety course that includes hunting safely with hunting dogs, a program that will be accomplished jointly with the AWC and the AZ DGF working together to develop curriculum and hands on opportunities. When implemented, the program will include a “final exam” that will allow participants to actually hunt over trained dogs, handled by AWC members.

This program will not only teach young hunters proper gun dog hunting etiquette, but will build sporting dog interest among them. We also hope to identify and implement at least one other educational program in 2006 that will not involve sporting dogs.

Future Projects: The Arizona Wildlife Conservancy will work with its’ Associate member clubs to develop educational opportunities designed to attract new interest and will also develop educational opportunities designed to kindle program participation among various youth groups and organizations. The Arizona Wildlife Conservancy will offer a variety of educational opportunities for all ages. Our Conservation Education programs will be planned to serve people who are interested in learning more about the natural world. They will include programs developed with 4-H and Scouting Organizations
