In 2014, the agency started the "Wild Lands” initiative to raise awareness about the importance of public lands. It is intended to raise awareness and encourage people visiting these areas to preserve them.
Conservation efforts are encouraged through Wild Lands. FWS and National Rifle Association have partnered to create Project Gunter, a youth shooting sport program. This program helps children learn how to safely handle firearms, as well as safety and marksmanship skills.
Project Gunter is now expanding to include women and minorities. This has led to more children learning how to use guns and becoming active participants in wildlife conservation.
