About the BSoR Conservation and Hunt Program

Through teaching, hands-on experience, and practice, students not only learn the important lessons of conservation, but in turn develop a set of skills and values around caring and protecting that will serve them throughout life. Students learn to appreciate the world around them through valuable experiences but also about potential consequences and impact of their actions.
