In this project, students explore the natural world through hands-on experiences in wildlife identification, outdoor skills, conservation, and environmental stewardship. From learning about local wildlife and habitats to developing practical outdoor recreation skills, students build knowledge while strengthening life skills like observation, problem-solving, critical thinking, and responsibility.
Most programs are offered at little to no cost and are announced throughout the year as they are planned, giving students opportunities to participate based on their interests and schedules. The project also includes Wildlife Judging, which has separate practices and competition opportunities.
