As many of you know a big part of what is currently done with conservation in any given state is done by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). What few people know is where to go to look for this information. lucky for you, I can help get you there! The magic links below will lead you to the exact sight you need to go to in order to find a complete list of events that you can actively participate in. These events are not only great to help with conservation efforts but you also get to breath some fresh air and get a bit of exercise in while you are at it. I will also continue to post about some of the more important events coming up or about ones I have heard specifically about that could use a bunch more spare hands. I would like to encourage you all in advance to take the time to go volunteer at least once. It is a very cool experience that most people don’t even know exists. I would also like to thank you in advance for your participation and invite you to take photos and share them with us to be featured on our blog and social media pages!
Ways to send us your awesome photos:
1. Send to us via email: support@reel-catch.com
2. Send us a Facebook message with them attached
