Episode 38: Recruit, Retain, Reactivate - with David Hennaman, R3 coordinator for the VA DWR

In this episode of the Virginia Carolina Deer Tracts podcast, Mike welcomes David Hennaman, the R3 (Recruit, Retain, Reactivate) Coordinator for the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (VA DWR).

We dive deep into the R3 initiative - what it is, how it works, and why it's essential for the future of hunting, fishing, and wildlife conservation. David explains how the R3 programs recruit new outdoorsmen and women, retin current participants, and reactiviate those who've stepped away from the field.

You'll also learn how the Virginia DWR partners with non-profit organizations, NGOs, and conservation groups to expand outreach, provide education, and preserve our outdoor heritage. From hunter education courses to community events and wildlife habitat projects, R3 is building a stronger, more connected outdoor community.
