Join TACF for a weekend at the fabulous National Training Conservation Center in Shepherdstown, WV. This US Fish & Wildlife facility was designed to resemble the 19th century farm landscape and blend into the rural grounds, providing a unique and idyllic retreat setting to foster learning.
NCTC’s museum chronicles the rich heritage of wildlife conservation. Included are contraband items made from endangered species, elaborate carvings and mounted birds and animals and treasures that include the original set of duck stamps issued by the Postal Service.
Walk some of NCTC’s 5 miles of paved footpaths throughout the campus –an outstanding environment for bird-watching, jogging, and nature photography. NCTC’s rugged hiking trails take you through eastern hardwood forests and Potomac River meadows. An active eagle’s nest is visible from many locations around the NCTC campus.
With over twelve workshops offered, there is certain to be something for everyone, from the seasoned chestnut enthusiast to the newest member of TACF.
Lodging at NCTC is available but extremely limited. Please contact NCTC to reserve your room.
