Williamsburg Wildlife and Ottawa Club Forms for Youth and Habitat
In April 1951 a group formed the Williamsburg Wildlife and Conservation Club to train youth as sportsmen educate farmers on wildlife shelter and improve farmer hunter relations. The club stocked pheasants, raised birds, funded a movie projector and aided boys clubs, later becoming the Williamsburg Ottawa Wildlife Club. It funds food baskets, hosts Hunters Safety School, seeks an 18 acre lake with a $10,000 build cost, and runs Acres for Wildlife for ages nine to sixteen. Upcoming events include a wild game feed and a Kansas Wildlife Federation Trapshoot with 130 to 160 shooters.
