U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and 4-H National Headquarters Honor Youth Mapping Project Aimed at Refuges and Hatcheries
The GIS Mapping Replication and Expansion Project, a unique partnership between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and 4-H designed to enable dozens of youths to experience, nature and gain real-world conservation experience, has been honored by the Service and 4-H National Headquarters with the 2012 Connecting Youth with Nature through Natural Resources Conservation Education Award. The Project provides interactive, hands-on learning opportunities at National Wildlife Refuges and National Fish Hatcheries in four states. The project also builds leadership skills and pathways to careers in natural resources stewardship through classroom and field activities. The award was presented this week at the 77th Annual North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference in Atlanta, Georgia.
