Safety, Responsibility & Ethical Behavior
 
 

  SAFETY TRAILS INC.

 



Wildlife in Oregon is a public resource, owned and enjoyed
by every citizen. We celebrate the fact that wildlife 
management was started by, and is sustained by hunters.
Even so, we believe that it is every citizen's duty to be as
informed as possible in matters relating to the management
of this valuable resource. We further believe that all of us 
can take an active role in wildlife management. The Oregon
Hunter Education Program is one means of accomplishing 
that end.
 
Delivered by volunteers and administered through the
Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, Hunter Education is
much more than a "gun safety" class. Today's course deals
with our stewardship of, and responsibility for, wildlife in a
world of rapidly shrinking habitat. It fosters ethical behavior
and sportsmanship among hunters, and champions the cause
of "fair chase". It emphasizes and stresses respect: respect
for wildlife, respect for the land, respect for property, respect
for ourselves as hunters and conservators, and respect for
the opinions and beliefs of non hunters.
Every member of Safety Trails is a volunteer Hunter Ed.
instructor dedicated to safe and responsible hunting,
committed to the principals stated above, and advocates
responsible management of our wildlife resources for future
generations. Each instructor member has passed a training
program and a background check, lives and/or teaches in
Multnomah County and is currently listed as an active
instructor in good standing with the Department of Fish
& Wildlife.

Our mission is to teach the ethic of the hunting tradition
and good sportsmanship, certify hunters of all ages, and
increase public awareness of the value of safe and responsible
enjoyment of our wildlife resources.
