Conservation Education

Who We Are

The Conservation Education Division works to promote Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) programs, services and recreational opportunities. The division educates the public about state wildlife and boating rules and regulations, as well as other wildlife, habitat and fishing issues. The division also strives to involve students, teachers and the public through hunter, angler and wildlife education programs. Additionally, the division has developed a volunteer program to provide the public a hands-on way to get involved in projects like seed gathering or fish stocking.
