Whitetails Unlimited Supports WHEP National Contest

 

Whitetails Unlimited recently awarded a $2500 grant to the Wildlife Habitat Education Program, a hands-on education program designed to teach youth aged 8-19 about wildlife and fisheries conservation. The program also features a national contest where students are able to test their wildlife and fisheries knowledge in a friendly competition.

The contest encourages students to apply the knowledge, concepts, and terminology learned through the program to solve real-world wildlife and fisheries conservation scenarios. Students must also preform species identification and habitat evaluation.

“We appreciate Whitetails Unlimited’s contribution to the Wildlife Habitat Education Program,” says WHEP Committee Chair Jarred Brooke. “Their support will help us continue to deliver a high-caliber conservation education program to youth throughout the country.”
