We are a non-profit organization of certified volunteer instructors working diligently as partners with the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources
(DNR) to administer the Hunter Education Program.
We cherish the opportunity to share our knowledge of nature and enable people to enjoy our heritage and the outdoors regardless of ability or interest.
Organized in 1996, dozens of certified volunteer instructors annually donate thousands of personal hours of time inside and outside the classroom.
In 1999, the WVHEA launched the Special Needs Program. Whether it is a 10-year-old at their first class, or a person with 10 years outdoors experience,
anyone who requests or needs special attention can receive individualized training. Class presentations are adapted for individuals with physical impairments such
as hearing or mobility. These DNR sponsored Hunter Education Courses are open to the public and are FREE.
