We are looking for volunteers who are passionate about fishing to help with our annual Passport to Fishing program!
Join MetroParks of Butler County, Butler Soil and Water Conservation District, for Passport to Fishing. This is a program developed by the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation. The Division of Wildlife and their trained educators (that’s us!) use its curriculum as a beginning angler program for kids and teens.
Kids will learn the skills needed to fish and get time to practice these newly learned skills at the Elk Creek MetroPark - Meadow Ridge Area with these trained educators and experienced fishermen and women. These skills include knot tying and rigging, line casting, fish identification, aquatic habitat health, and more!
Volunteers will support staff in the transporting and setup of supplies, and help us run different education stations as a part of the program
We are looking for volunteers who are comfortable with casting, catching, releasing, and handling of live fish
Volunteers must be 16 years or older (Volunteers 16 or 17 years old must fill out the youth Volunteer Waiver and bring it with them if serving without a parent or guardian)
