Get Outside and Get Fishing!
Midwest Region, September 6, 2008
Print Friendly Version
Partnerships between the Service and other organizations can be very effective when reaching out to kids and families to encourage outdoor activities. On September 6, the Chaseburg Rod and Gun Club held its annual free event inviting kids and families from surrounding communities to come out and learn how to shoot clay pigeons, load and shoot a muzzle loader, throw an axe to hit a target, and get involved in hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities. This year over 30 kids and 20 adults attended the event, and participated in educational sessions provided by Genoa National Fish Hatchery, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and members of the Chaseburg Rod and Gun Club. Teaming up for events like this one allows Genoa and other organizations to reach a wide crowd with varying interests, and introduce fishing and fish management practices, the Service mission, hunting and fishing rules, guidelines, and ethics to kids and families in a fun, outdoor environment.
