Wildlife conservation projects

Each year the DWR works with government agencies and conservation groups to organize meaningful wildlife conservation projects. These projects give Dedicated Hunters hands-on experience in improving wildlife and habitat quality while earning service credit. They give participants the chance to learn more about wildlife management and wildlife habitat. Through participation in these projects, Dedicated Hunters contribute valuable time and effort to the future of Utah's wildlife.
