Text from the Recreational Hunting and Wildlife Conservation Plan, 2008, Page 29
Create and support an exchange program for federal and state employees to teach once a week or once a month in the local schools, particularly in the more urban areas where professionals do not get to explore or talk about what they learned in the field. This will reinvigorate the employee and also give students the benefits of first-hand experience. This “teacher on loan” can educate about wildlife, hunting, instill respect for the outdoors, discuss new energy technology, and relate all of the subjects back to other subjects such as biology, math, and English, especially as they relate in individual state standards of learning (SOLs).
While there was an opportunity for federal employees to participate in an exchange program in the past, it is no longer an option.
