GAME COMMISSION HONORS 50-YEAR HUNTER EDUCATION INSTRUCTORS
As part of its 50th anniversary of hunter education, Pennsylvania Game Commission officials recently honored 24 dedicated volunteer instructors who now have been teaching hunter education for half a century.
"This corps of instructors has witnessed the historic events that have changed the world and our lives over the past 50 years, and rolled with the changes that have defined hunter education in Pennsylvania along the way," said Keith Snyder, Game Commission Hunter Trapper Education Division chief. "We offer our sincere thanks and appreciation to these individuals, as well as all of our volunteer instructors, for their service that is a keystone in the Game Commission's efforts to pass along our state's rich hunting and trapping heritage to current and future generations."
