WILDLIFE EDUCATION
Habitat is the natural conditions and environment in which wildlife species or plants live.
Wildlife play a vital role in a balanced and healthy environment.
Conservation practices for wildlife and their habitats play a large role in wildlife management.
Ethical Hunters always follow legal guidelines and regulations established by the government. Youth will learn the fundamentals of how, when, where, and why to hunt.
Mule Deer and Black Tailed Deer Biology will include the basic necessities of habitat, food and wildlife conservation, so that youth can understand the needs of these species. This will enable youth to be informed and active participants in conservation efforts.
