Abstract	This report is based on a study which examined the role the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) can fill in making students aware of the values provided by wildlife conservation. The study was conducted in consultation with national and local educational organizations so that the interpretive programs of the service can be used to supplement classroom activities. The report includes a statement of FWS's mission and goals and brief discussions of: National Wildlife Refuges, National Fish Hatcheries, and research; national and international trends impacting on natural resources; changes in public attitudes; FWS role, including a listing of policies that have direct impact on FWS educational and interpretive activities; and formal and non-formal educational activities, examining factors which may contribute to their success at either on-site or off-site locations. A listing of the mission, goals, and objectives of FWS wildlife education is included. One goal citied is to provide opportunities for the public to develop awareness and to acquire the knowledge, understanding, and skills necessray to assist in protecting and enhancing fish and wildlife resources and their habitats. (An annotated listing of related federal legislation is included in an appendix.) (JN)
