Much has been written the past few years on the increased number of women taking up hook-and-bullet pursuits, but relatively little attention has been paid to trying to recruit minorities into the fold. But perhaps Oregon's newest member of the state wildlife commission, the first African-American to ever serve on that board, can change that.
From this story on Oregonlive.com:
When it comes to the outdoors, Greg Wolley has been everywhere you can imagine, defying many stereotypes about African-Americans and wildlife. “They say Black people don’t bike, hike, etc.,” he says. “Students of color are not seeing images of people in natural resources that look like them -- they don’t have role models.” On May 21, Wolley became the first African American to serve on the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Commission (ODFW).
It's an interesting question: why isn't there more minority involvement in the hunting, fishing and shooting sports? And what can we do to help change that? Thoughts?
