Generation Conservation
Attend a free PD session for local teachers and administrators about the Generation Conservation Summit August 22 at 9 a.m. at North AR Community College!
The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s Generation Conservation initiative aims to provide an authentic learning environment for teachers and K-12 students in Arkansas to engage and compete in AGFC programming and offerings.
This educational summit brings awareness to the role that AGFC plays in the state, creating spaces for students and educators to learn directly from conservation professionals.
The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission will hold its inaugural Generation Conservation summit on Nov. 5-6, 2025. Student groups from around the state (only 24 students per school can compete) will face off in conservation-related competitions for bragging rights, prizes and possible additional funding for their school.
- The deadline for regional and pre-competition sign-up is Aug. 29, 2025.
- The deadline for the on-site competition (Summit) sign-up is Oct. 1, 2025
