Our meeting today was a field trip to the South Dakota Game, Fish & Parks outdoor campus. Clint Whitley, a Naturalist, works there teaching lots of wildlife classes. They also have biologists for the various habitats in the Black Hills. The outdoor campus does a lot of work with kids, but focuses on young adults that can then introduce their kids to outdoor activities. The newest part is the outdoor shooting range. It is a fantastic facility where gun owners can practice in a safe environment. The majority of shooters are recreational shooters (competitive shooting), the rest are hunters.
There are many free classes available at the campus. You can get all the information at www.gfp.sd.gov.
