One I've proudly supported is Wildlife Forever's State-Fish Art Project. You probably know about Wildlife Forever. Last year Wildlife Forever launched its State-Fish Art Project. A CD-ROM curriculum for elementary grades also is available. The other aspect of the project is the State-Fish Art Contest.
Students can participate by entering an illustration of their state fish.
This project is the kind of effort we need to foster a connection to the natural world. If enough sportsmen went to their school boards or school principals encouraging participation in programs like this, it would be a major step towards fending off the antis. The State Fish Art Project isn't the only curriculum available to schools. Pheasants Forever's Leopold Education Project is another excellent program. There are other ways to get the job done.
