Outreach and Education
|
Program Objective:
The
Cookeville Field Office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service provides
information to the public concerning threatened and endangered species
as well as other resource-oriented issues in Tennessee and Kentucky.
Presentations, informational booths, and outdoor exercises are some of
the activities provided to school groups, civic organizations, college
classes, etc., related to threatened and endangered species, neotropical
migratory bird species (mostly songbirds), raptors (eagles, hawks, owls),
law enforcement issues related to the Endangered Species Act and other
legislation used to protect our wildlife resources. We also provide
educational material (brochures, fliers, fact sheets, etc.) related to
these issues to better enhance learning opportunities for all. Representatives
of the Cookeville Field Office serve as active members on state outreach
groups concerning natural resource issues and how they relate to the public
interest. These activities allow us an opportunity to better inform
the public about the wildlife around us. The Fish and Wildlife
Service believes education is the key to preserving our natural
resources for future generations to enjoy.
