YOUTH HUNT & WATERFOWLER WORKSHOP Sat. Sept. 16th,2006
WATERFOWLER HERITAGE DAY Sat. Sept. 23rd, 2006

Delta Waterfowl is North America’s original leader in waterfowl research and conservation. The organization began in the 1930’s in the Delta marsh in Manitoba and has now become well established in both Canada and the United States. Delta’s mission is “Delta provides knowledge, leaders and science-based solutions that efficiently conserve waterfowl and secure the future for waterfowl hunting”. Their mission is accomplished through many projects such as waterfowl research, influencing public policy and promoting hunting as an integral part of waterfowl management. Volunteer efforts and the financial support of waterfowl hunters and the public make these goals happen.

Nova Delta Waterfowl has partnered with a local group, the Dartmouth Clay Target Association, to organize a Youth Hunt & Waterfowler Workshop on Sat. Sept. 16th of 2006 as an annual project for Nova Delta Waterfowl. This hunt / workshop is expected to attract kids and first time waterfowlers from throughout the province. Waterfowler Heritage Day (09/ 23/ 06) is for ages 12-17 that have completed the hunter education course, but all ages are welcome to observe. The DCTA, located in Cow Bay, is providing a superb venue for the event and Nova Delta is organizing the hunt workshop with the support of mentors and committee members.

If you or someone you know would be interested in attending or mentoring our youth hunt this fall or for more information on our Youth Hunt & Waterfowler Workshop please e-mail me or call. Thanks for taking the time to read about this Nova Delta Waterfowl project.

Nova Delta Waterfowl greatly appreciates your help in supporting our efforts to establish this as an 2ND annual Waterfowler Hunt Workshop for our local youth and to first time waterfowlers.
