MS VEC to Host Youth Fish Predator Program

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) Visitor Education Center (VEC) will host a "Fish Predator" program for youth on Saturday, March 14 at 2 p.m.

The Fish Predator program gives youth an opportunity to learn about fish and other animals that prey on fish. This program identifies some reptiles, amphibians, and birds whose diets consist primarily of fish. Participants will get the opportunity see skulls, replica eggs, claws, and teeth of some of these predators!

The program is free with the price of admission. Admission is $2.50 for adults ages 18-59, and $2.00 for youth ages 3-17 and adults over the age of 60. For additional information or to pre-register for the event, call the VEC at (662) 563-8068.

The VEC is part of MDWFP North Mississippi Fish Hatchery and is located adjacent to Enid Reservoir at Exit 233 east off I-55.
