About this award
This $320,000 formula grant awarded on July 1, 2025 by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service under the Enhanced Hunter Education and Safety Program (CFDA 15.626) supports the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission's efforts to address the declining participation in hunting and shooting sports in the state.
The grant funding will be used by the Commission to enhance hunter education curricula, construct and maintain public shooting ranges, and implement recruitment, retention, and reactivation (R3) strategies to encourage greater participation in hunting and archery activities across North Carolina. Key objectives include promoting safe hunting practices, introducing youth to hunting and archery, and reversing the documented decline in hunting license sales. The grant activities are expected to be completed by June 30, 2026.
Description

The WRC believes exposing a diverse audience to the shooting sports and advance hunting skills techniques can increase participation thus stemming the decrease in hunting license sales.
