Wildlife Intensive Leadership Development CONSERVATION LEADERS IN EVERY COMMUNITY

The Texas Brigades is a wildlife-focused leadership development program for high school youth (ages 13-17). There are six different camps: Bobwhite Brigade, Buckskin Brigade, Bass Brigade, Waterfowl Brigade, Ranch Brigade, and Coastal Brigade. You will be introduced to habitat management, hone your communication skills, and devel-op a land ethic. The state's leading wildlife and fisheries biologists and land managers serve as instructors and mentors. Each camp is 4 ½ days long.

The camps are held on private ranches and at environmental camps in different areas of the state. In addition to learning animal anatomy and behavior, botany, nutrition, habitat management, population dynamics, etc., you will learn valuable leadership skills. You will write news releases, practice public speaking, and find out how to han-dle radio and television interviews.

Through these activities, you will develop valuable life skills that will help you regard-less of your career goals.

If you are interested in biology, conservation, leadership, or just appreciate the out-doors, you should consider applying to one of our camps. Find a career, meet new friends, and become an ambassador for conservation.
