Investing in the Outdoors - Discussing the importance of conservation with Jim Curcuruto of the Outdoor Stewards of Conservation

In this episode we chat with Jim Curcuruto, the Executive Director for the Outdoor Stewards of Conservation Foundation (OSCF). With a wealth of experience in the world of the outdoors and conservation, Jim shares insights and stories that shed light on the importance of engaging the next generation of hunters, anglers, trappers, and shooters in conservation efforts. Jim's journey began with his work leading the research team, market development, and recruitment efforts for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, where his dedication and strategies increased participation in hunting and target shooting. However, Jim's passion extends far beyond his professional life; he's an avid hunter and angler, particularly for waterfowl, largemouth bass, and trout. Now as the Executive Director of the Outdoor Stewards of Conservation Foundation, he's helping others understand the critical role that hunters, anglers, trappers, and shooters play in preserving the natural world while fostering a deep connection to the great outdoors.
