Welcome to the Washington Wildlife Federation (WWF), the Washington state affiliate of the National Wildlife Federation. We're an organization of conservation-minded hunters, anglers, and other outdoor enthusiasts who are working for healthy habitats and public access. We believe outdoor recreation is one of the best ways for people to learn first-hand about Washington's natural resources, so we sponsor programs that teach outdoor skills such as Washington Outdoor Women.

WWF also works for strong populations of fish and wildlife, ethical hunting and fishing, and a greater understanding of conservation, wildlife, and wildlife habitat management. Members of WWF actively support good stewardship of Washington's fish and wildlife, so that future generations can participate in outdoor activities we have enjoyed.  WWF is actively engaged in all efforts to develop clean, rewable energy and climate change legilsation at both the state and national level and to secure long-term funding for fish and wildlife and our other natural resources.

2nd Annual Introduction To Waterfowling

March 27th 2010

 

Pull on those boots or waders and head out into the field with us for a hands-on Introduction to Waterfowling! WOW is once again partnering with Ducks Unlimited (DU) to offer this popular one-day workshop. By the end of the day, you’ll be familiar with the history of waterfowling, its techniques, its ethics and conservation efforts. WOW instructors and Ducks Unlimited staff will help you with shotgun patterning and shooting moving clays, setting duck decoys, calling, the use of blinds, and understanding (by seeing) why a retriever is such an important partner in this hunting experience. This is a hands-on, active day, conducted in duck hunting terrain. It requires lots of walking and potentially challenging wading situations so knee high rubber boots, hip boots or chest waders are a must for the ponds and blinds.

Registration is $85. The fee includes all instruction, equipment, shotguns, ammunition, clays, a light breakfast and hearty lunch and a WOW shirt. The workshop takes place on a private hunt club in the Snohomish Valley, near Monroe. You must be 18 to participate.
