Education

In response to updated COVID-19 guidance from Idaho Department of Health and Welfare for public events, Idaho Fish and Game has temporarily waived the requirement to attend an in-person field day for online hunter education certification. The temporary waiver allows students who complete the online course the ability to gain certification and purchase a hunting license.

There is nothing like being in the presence of a raptor – to see the huge eyes of owl or to view the curve of a hawk’s beak – and some lucky students are getting a glimpse into the world of raptors and other protected nongame birds during their hunter education classroom instruction in the Treasure Valley.

Idaho Fish and Game is offering two workshops in Coeur d’Alene geared toward teaching K-12 educators how to teach kids about wildlife. Project WILD is an award-winning education program designed to help teachers and youth leaders incorporate wildlife concepts in to their classrooms.
