PA 4-H Wildlife and Forestry Field Day

PA 4-H Wildlife and Forestry Field Day
 
The first option (#1) is the "Exploratory Tract," designed for youth ages 7-11.  It will include hands-on wildlife and forestry educational activities and guest speakers.  This year's theme for the Exploratory Tract  is "Pennsylvania's Predators. These are the species that prey on other animals for their food.  Participants will also be learning forestry skills in this tract. Come explore wildlife and forestry through many fun indoor and outdoor educational activities!  No advance study is required for the Exploratory Tract.
 
The second option (#2) is the "PA Wildlife Habitat Evaluation (WHEP) Competition." It will offer youth, ages 12-18, a chance to participate in a wildlife habitat evaluation contest. This is an competitive event that provides a great opportunity for youth to apply their knowledge about wildlife to real life situations.  There is a project book that 4-H'ers must study before coming to this event.  It is available as a download by clicking here: 2012 PA Wildlife Habitat Evaluation (WHEP) Project Book, or by contacting your County Penn State Extension Office.  The competitive activities for this tract are new this year, but be sure to only use this year's project book for your study.
