The Wildlife Habitat Evaluation Program (WHEP) is a fun and challenging outdoor adventure where youth, age 8-18, learn about wildlife, conservation and management. Guided by wildlife handbooks specially designed for young people, volunteer leaders help youth learn about the needs of wildlife. The junior (age 12-13) and senior (age 14-18) division youth then compete at a state contest in teams (individual participation possible). The novice group (age 8-11) does not compete at the state contest, but learns about wildlife through fun educational activities and games. We have several young people who are preparing for this camp by practicing every Thursday. If you have any questions about being a part of this group, please call the Extension Office at 694-6174.
