Dakota PF receives North Dakota Game and Fish Grant for Youth Activities

In the Weeds: March 2008 Since its inception, Dakota Pheasants Forever has grown to over 300 members and has raised more than $1 million for the North Dakota wildlife habitat. The chapter is also working hard to cultivate outdoor interest in today's youth.

The chapter was recently awarded a $3,000 grant from the North Dakota Game & Fish Department for youth activities as outlined in the "Encouraging Tomorrow's Hunters" grant application. The grant is a cost-sharing agreement and provides 75 percent of the cost of selected youth activities sponsored by Dakota PF. The chapter is responsible for the remaining 25 percent of the cost of youth activities. In the past, the chapter has held outdoor youth days and youth mentor hunts.

For additional information about this grant and youth activities sponsored by Dakota PF, please contact Dave Sandy, Youth Program Director at dsandy@bis.midco.net. More information about the chapter can be found at dakota.pheasantsforever.org.

If you have story ideas, dog photos, pre-1980 hunting photos and requests for future On The Wing consideration, please send correspondence to ahauck@pheasantsforever.org.
