The Division of Fish and Wildlife created the Wildlife Outreach Program in 2017 to serve students, families, hunters, and the public through a variety of unique, enjoyable programs. These programs provide participants with information about Rhode Island’s wildlife species, conservation issues, and the work being done by our dedicated staff to protect, restore, and manage our state’s precious wildlife resources. The Wildlife Outreach Program offers interactive, fun, educational activities regarding the history of wildlife management, current conservation projects, Rhode Island’s diverse wildlife, and careers in the field of wildlife conservation. They also offer educational resources for teachers to use in their classrooms.
