23. - Recommend and implement a training curriculum for federal employees on the history, ecology, and management of hunting on public land

The National Conservation Training Center provides a venue for educating federal employees on wildlife, conservation and hunting.

An excerpt from the US Fish and Wildlife Services National Wildlife Refuge System "Vision Document" shows the USFWS's intent to train its employees of the importance of hunting, fishing and outdoor skills on refuges.

"Development of a Hunting, Fishing, Outdoor Skills Course for Refuge Employees: This course would be focused towards Refuge managers that may have limited or no prior Hunting or Fishing experience or administering of these types of programs. Suggested Topics includes NEPA, 605 FW Policy, 603 FW Policy, CCP and implementation. Although these topics are discussed in Refuge Management and Advanced Management Academy, a more in depth course for personnel with little or no experience is suggested. Also consider other resources such as Conservation Leaders for Tomorrow, hosted by Wildlife Management Institute with NCTC, and other partner resources in order to maximize reach with limited resources."

The National Conservation Leadership Institute (NCLI) provides leadership training for federal agencies, state agencies, tribes, NGOs, or industry employees.

The WHHCC sent a letter to the Department of the Interior commenting on the vision document for the National Wildlife Refuge System. The WHHCC called for further emphasis on the role of hunters and anglers in wildlife conservation. Additionally the WHHCC suggested additional employee training for employees about the North American model for conservation and specifically drew attention to action items 23, 24 and 25 in the Recreational Hunting and Wildlife Conservation Plan. The WHHCC followed up the letter to the DOI with a subsequent letter to the Fish and Wildlife Service reiterating its support and willingness to provide implementation teams on: strategic growth; communications; hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation; and interpretation and education.

The Conservation Leaders for Tomorrow is a non profit with the goal "to identify future and current leaders of the natural resource profession who do not hunt and provide them with an understanding of the diverse values and important roles of hunting and its impact on conservation." The CLfT, in partnership with the National Conservation Training Center, conducts training for federal employees on the history, ecology and management of hunting, albeit not specifically on public land.
