Annual Youth Hunt:   The Chisago County Chapter has held a youth hunt the past nine years. The 2009 hunt will be held at Rocky Bay Kennel and Hunt Club in Pine City. Due to overwhelming interest the past two years, we will limit the number of participants to 50 ringnecks.  The event includes field training, clay target shooting, guides with dogs, pheasants for the hunt, and lunch.

College Scholarships:  The Chisago County Chapter has contributed scholarships to Chisago Lakes High School, North Branch High School and Rush City High School towards students pursuing degrees in a conservation science. Thanks to Tom Hallberg, through Edward Jones Investments, our scholarship fund is growing and will enable us to continue awarding scholarships in the future.

Youth Bird Camp and L.E.P. Scholarships:   This year, as in the past, the chapter contributed scholarship funds to the Youth Bird Camp in Portage, MN, and to the Leopold Education Project.   The chapter contributed $1600 to the Youth Bird Camp program and $100 to the Leopold Education Project.  Both programs are aimed at improving Habitat awareness.
