A Field & Stream Hero of Conservation is someone who spends his or her own time working to create, improve, or restore fish and wildlife or habitat. A Hero is dedicated to the spirit of conservation volunteerism and stands out among other volunteers. Some heroes are members of conservation organizations involved with dedicated efforts to benefit a particular species or area. Others are simply individuals who take it upon themselves to improve habitat where they live. No project is too small, but the public should be able to benefit from the endeavor, and there should be a clear tie to hunting and/or fishing. If you know of a potential Hero or are one yourself, tell us by completing a nomination form.

From defending at-risk habitat and wildlife food sources to creating opportunities for youths to enjoy the outdoors, these Heroes are taking action. Listen to their stories, and check back for a new video every week until October.
