Support the Future of Conservation Leadership

How you can help...

The future of Pennsylvania’s wildlife and habitats is in the hands of our youth.  We all must help prepare them for this important challenge and responsibility.  

YOU can help by supporting this initiative. The Wildlife Leadership Adventures provide youth with the knowledge and skills to become active citizens and take on the challenge of conservation leadership.  Your financial contribution will help support the long-term sustainability of this program. 


“Our sponsorship last year for Carlos to attend the camp was one of the best uses of our funds that we’ve ever done. This camp has helped Carlos become a more complete outdoorsman and conservationist.”

                     --Bob Wagner, Quality Deer Management Association, Susquehanna Branch
