WILDLIFE/MGT AREAS: Urges and requests the La. Dept. of Wildlife and Fisheries to find ways to increase youth use of Wildlife Management Areas

This legislative resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to develop methods for encouraging more young people to visit and use Wildlife Management Areas. The bill highlights that activities like hunting and fishing can teach children safety, provide outdoor education, and foster an appreciation for nature. It suggests that the department could increase youth participation by organizing special events such as youth hunts, fishing trips, and training sessions. Ultimately, the measure is a non-binding request intended to promote youth involvement in outdoor recreation for the benefit of the state's future.
