NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – The California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Advanced Hunter Education Program is sponsoring a Wilderness First Aid clinic Nov. 16 at the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area in Yolo County.

Alex Van, a 30-year veteran firefighter/paramedic, will instruct this exciting clinic that will provide hands-on training designed to meet the needs of outdoor enthusiasts and individuals who plan to hunt in remote locations.

Topics will include the treatment of cuts, broken bones, burns and gunshot wounds, as well as first aid kits and basic survival equipment to have on hand.

The clinic will provide the knowledge, skills and ability to make sound decisions in wilderness emergency situations.

The clinic will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Nov. 16. The cost is $65 for adults. Youths 16 years and younger are free, but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
