ππππExciting Recap from the Hunter Safety Program at Piedmont High School!πππ
We are thrilled to share that our recent Hunter Safety Program on February 8, 2025, was a huge success! π π π
Thanks to the incredible teamwork of the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF), the state conservation officers, ACEOA, and the enthusiastic support from Piedmont High School FFA, we welcomed participants aged 10 and older for a day of hands-on learning and fun!
From mastering firearm safety to understanding wildlife conservation, our participants were left with invaluable skills and a hunter safety card recognized in all 50 states! π¦

Special thanks to:
- Mr. Peyton Allen for his enthusiasm and support!
- Sgt. Ben Kisor for emphasizing the importance of ethical hunting practices.
- Molly Jordan from the Northeast Alabama NWTF Chapter for organizing the event.
π π π This year saw 40 eager registrants and 30 enthusiastic participants β our biggest turnout thus far in 3 years and the largest single day turn out this year for the Department of Conservation! π π π π
We canβt wait to partner again for more exciting events, including the upcoming NWTF banquet on July 26, 2025, at Chattokee Lodge! π Interested in getting involved?
