For the past few years I've had the great good fortune to work with the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies' North American Conservation Education Strategy. For the past six years or so, conservation educators from fish and wildlife agencies around the country have worked to develop tools to support high quality conservation education in everything from field investigations to outdoor skills to connecting children and families with the outdoors (check out www.fishwildlife.org, focus area Conservation Education). The Strategy is founded on the recognition that today's children are the future of fish and wildlife conservation. They are the future biologists managing wildlife populations, future agency leaders making tough policy decisions, future voters determining the extent to which the public will continue to support conservation, and they are the future hunters, anglers, hikers, boaters, campers -- they ARE the future of fish and wildlife conservation. DJ Case & Associates has supported the work of the CE Strategy in a number of ways, including this video developed by Rick Clawson.
