In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, MassWildlife was required to cancel all course offerings starting in mid-March. We are pleased to announce that with the phased reopening of Massachusetts, we have adapted our instructional model to allow for Basic Hunter Education courses to resume. However, since these courses include an in-person field day component, sessions must remain small to adhere to public health guidelines. We appreciate your patience as we attend to the backlog of students and work to scale up our course offerings safely over the coming weeks.
You can still sign up to be notified when new courses are open for enrollment. To sign up, click here and submit the online form or call the MassWildlife Hunter Education Office at (508) 389-7820 and we will submit the information for you.
