Uvalde, TEXAS (Ammoland.Com) – At four feet tall, Carsyn Norvell is a true giving warrior. In fact, nearly three and a half years ago she was the first youth ever to donate to Stewards of Wildlife Conservation (SWC), a non-profit organization based in Uvalde, Texas.
Norvell hasn’t stopped since that first donation; she’s given several times in 2017 and even emptied her savings to give to SWC at this year’s Dallas Safari Club convention in January – a total of $80 for a single donation. It’s because of these selfless acts of charity, SWC’s Director of Wildlife Sustainability, Cole Reid, is presenting her with SWC’s first “Youth Warrior Award.” The award will be given at SWC’s Annual Banquet April 28, 2018 in Austin, Texas.
“It is so important for us”, says Cole Reid, “to focus on education and community outreach, especially for the younger generations. The conservation field is mostly dominated by the older generations and if we don’t get the younger generations motivated it will make the fight that much harder. Carsyn not only makes me proud as a steward of this earth but she gives me so much hope for the future of wildlife conservation!”
SWC’s Youth Warrior award is given to youth ages 8-18 who exemplify both love of animals and charitable acts. Due to Carsyn’s overwhelming support for SWC she has been invited to SWC on many occasions. The award she will be receiving in April also comes with more opportunities to visit the SWC property and interact with the wildlife.
