[Nj_federation_alert] Outdoor Education - Something to Think About

[ap.maurosr at verizon.net]

I'm sure that some of you have heard the statistic that if you are not exposed to hunting (perhaps fishing too?) by the age of 16, stastically speaking, you are unlikely to take up the activity.

Of course, this means that we would have to be actively exposing our youth to fishing, hunting and trapping in to maintain/enhance an outdoor culture.

Apparently this idea has not been lost on the antis/enviros. Please see the link below.

If anyone has the contacts, abilities or finances to initiate a similar endeavor, or knows of one already in place that educates/exposes school age children to the outdoors, please contact me.

Thanks
