About the Conservation Initiative

The ATA’s new Conservation Initiative strives to boost hunting participation nationwide by teaching archers and nonhunters their role in conservation, and detailing how hunters contribute generously to wildlife-management programs.

We seek to teach future generations to appreciate the outdoors and that their impact on it is critical to preserving our rich hunting and conservation heritage.

The Outreach and Education team and your ATA are constantly updating and creating material for this program.
