Conservation has been around a long time, thankfully, or we might not have the glorious migratory birds who pass through our skies every spring and fall. On the next Outdoor Explorer we mark the 100th anniversary of the migratory bird treaty, a conservation landmark and learn how migrations come through our state and where and when you can enjoy them. We'll talk with a wildlife biologist as well as some volunteers trying to get youth and minorities interested in birds and wildlife.
