State Wants You To Share Your Love Of The Outdoors

I think this is so cool. I love being in the woods, on a lake and some of my best memories with my brother and my dad involve snowmobiling and ice fishing. If you are the same and have some time to spare the Maine Department of Inland and Fisheries is looking for your help.

If you enjoy teaching others and sharing your love for the Maine outdoors? The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is looking for volunteer instructors to assist with the delivery of our safety programs.

Annually they offer safety classes to approximately 10,000 students statewide in the following disciplines:

Firearms Safety
Bow Hunter Safety
Trapping
Crossbow
ATV Safety
Snowmobile Safety
Watercraft

Their press release directs an interested ethical sportsmen or women who have the desire to keep the Maine tradition alive, promote a safe outdoor experience, and deliver a well structured basic safety class with other team members, to apply. Giving back to the sport that you have a passion for is a major part of being a true, ethical, sportsman or woman.

We have a growing interest from the public in all of the above disciplines, with major growth in Firearms Hunter Safety and Bow Hunter Safety. The increase in youth and women in these programs over the last few years has been tremendous.
