The Program Needs

        Please help with the H.E.F.T.Y. Program.  There is a desperate need for support in the form of adult mentors, especially on the conservation project days.  The Ideal mentor would be a person that has a job, a family, or even a hobby. I think that any adult that will spend 1 day with these kids, working shoulder to shoulder with a youth, and telling of your interests and experience would be a wonderful asset. Youths in today's society need only to be paid attention to, someone to introduce them to a new interest.

       Hunter Education Instructors are needed to bring the H.E.F.T.Y. Program to local areas. There is a great need for the promotion of hunting, ethics, and outdoor conservation in all areas of the United States. Hunter Educators are a rare commodity and it is even more rare to find a educator willing to go the extra mile. If you think you have what it takes to become a H.E.F.T.Y. educator please contact me. There will be training camps available.

          Land owners are needed to allow us to come to your property to do the conservation work. We need places to remove existing vegetation, build new habitat, guzzler style water basins, plant feed and cover crops, a place to came over night. There is no cost to the land owner, all we ask is that you allow the youths and their family to visit and use, Hunt or Fish, on the land for the following 2 years. This allows the youths that attended the program to see the results of their hard work.

       As always we need financial support as well. Although we never charge for attendance in the H.E.F.T.Y. Program there is a cost per child in attendance for the H.E.F.T.Y. Program. For each participant the cost breaks down as follows $25.00 buy's the book the youths use to learn ethics, From Boys to Men of Heart, hunting as rite of passage, by Dr. Randall Eaton, a must read for everyone. $35.00 purchases the materials used during the conservation portion and learning activities. $35.00 pays for the food used by one youth on a weekend conservation outing. If you can support 1 or more of the youths in this program it is greatly appreciated.
