SUMMARY: Mark Kenyon, host of the Wired Hunt podcast and hunting enthusiast, wants to raise awareness about volunteer opportunities for hunters and anglers to give back to public lands and wildlife. He has been participating in volunteer days across the country, collaborating with conservation organizations and state game and fish agencies. The work includes planting trees, removing invasive species, and cleaning up trash. Kenyon emphasizes the importance of building relationships, enjoying camaraderie with fellow sportsmen and women, and continuing the legacy of past hunters and anglers who have advocated for wildlife and wild places. He also mentions his agreement with the U.S. Forest Service to work on forests nationwide, including Mississippi.

Volunteers improved wildlife habitat by seeding clover and planting crabapple and American chestnut trees and installing wood duck boxes.
