FWC will do its best to meet your event needs:People using a fishing simulator

  • Staffing is dependent upon the anticipated topics and interests and varies with the equipment/displays being provided. VOLUNTEER SUPPORT SUGGESTED (Note: FWC-sponsored events have priority when scheduling staff time, equipment and materials.)

  • Display items provided will vary with the nature/size of the event and the availability of the display items.

  •  COST AND BENEFITS ARE IMPORTANT: High priority audiences and topics with large audiences will require more extensive and customized displays.  The additional cost and manpower required to bring additional display items must be justified by the anticipated benefits in terms of conservation stewardship messages, safety and license sales that will result from the event.  Adequate space and support requirements are associated with specific displays, which are defined by the unit delivering the display to the site.

  • Printed handouts and miscellaneous premiums are available for distribution at most requested events (material selection is based on available supplies). ORDER PUBLICATIONS or go to Ask FWC page.

These guidelines are not intended to prevent staff from providing lectures to classrooms, troops of boy or girl scouts or fishing or birding groups.  The guidelines are intended to help focus and control the expenditure of time and money at numerous events around the state where several staff members are asked to set up displays.  To contact FWC for a small group event, please enter your request into the Ask FWC system.  Staff will try to assist you if circumstances allow participation at your event.
