Conservation ProgramMission StatementTo protect the future of our bowhunting heritage and promote the conservation and welfare of habitat and wildlife. Goal 1. To support educational and conservation activities that communicate the benefits of proper wildlife management. Goal 2. To foster the collection and dissemination of information on the beneficial role of bowhunting in wildlife management. Goal 3. To continue to create and enhance networks and partnership activities with individuals, agencies and organizations leading to positive exposure for bowhunting and the Pope and Young Club. Goal 4. To suggest methods of funding to support bowhunting, conservation, education and related activities. Goal 5. To foster quality bowhunting and other outdoor experiences from the recreational use and enjoyment of sustained, healthy wildlife populations. The Pope and Young Club and its membership remain dedicated to the perpetuation and sound management of wild animals and their habitat, as well as other activities that benefit wildlife. Members work actively behind the scenes, supporting various educational, field research and game management programs with moral and financial backing. The Club's Conservation Committee is responsible for soliciting and investigating proposals and recommending them to the Board of Directors. In recent years, annual conservation budgets have exceeded $80,000 per year with grants awarded to worthy projects in support of habitat conservation, field research, educational projects, conferences and symposia on North America's hunting heritage.
