Committing to
Education
- More than 30,000 kindergarten through 12th-grade students participated in the joint WDFW-University of Washington NatureMapping program. The program generates environmental awareness by making students responsible for tracking and monitoring fish and wildlife species found in their communities.
- More than 1 million people visit state hatcheries annually.
- Nearly 700 Hunter Education instructors trained 10,000 students this year in hunting ethics and the safe use of equipment.
- Approximately 350 Angler Education instructors provided fishing lessons to 12,000 residents throughout Washington.
- Nearly 550 classrooms across the state participated in the Salmon in the Classroom program in 1997. Students learned about salmon, their lifecycles and the need for healthy habitat as the students watched the fish grow from eggs to fingerlings and then released them into area streams.
