Recruiting Young Conservationists with the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation

Published: Sept. 20, 2018, 5:05 p.m.

Cody Kamrowski and Marco Marchetti are just 24 and have already been elected to the Board of Directors for the National Wildlife Federation and the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation, respectively. They are also both graduates of the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation's Conservation Leadership Corps, which is doing what few conservation organizations have been able to do recently: recruit young conservationists. Cody and Marco sat down with us at the National Wildlife Federation's Annual Meeting this summer to talk about the program, how they were introduced to the outdoors, how the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation is addressing wetland loss and chronic wasting disease, and the existential debate about the comparative greatness between Brett Farve and Aaron Rodgers. Conservation Country is presented by the National Wildlife Federation with support from Rep Your Water.
