Every living creature has a place in this world, and there is room for all of us. Birds, fish, and animals need clean water, food, and air, just as Cub Scouts do. You can help protect wildlife by following the fishing and hunting laws. Keep wildlife areas beautiful. Pick up trash along trails, streams, and lakeshores. Put it in trash barrels where it belongs.
