There's only a few days left to register for Wildlife and Forestry Field Day! 🌲🔆🌳🔆🍀

Registration closes on April 27. Come and enjoy some outdoor fun!

This event is open to all 4-H'ers ages 8-18. No advance preparation is necessary. It will be held on May 9 at the Ag Progress Days Site in Rock Springs, PA.

4-H'ers are also invited to bring friends who aren't in 4-H! Registration is also open to kids who aren't 4-H members this year. This is a great way to introduce friends and family members to 4-H and share the fun.

There will be two event tracks.

🌲The first option is the "Exploratory Track," designed for youth 4-H ages 8-11. It will include hands-on wildlife and forestry activities, guest speakers, and interactive learning experiences.

🌳The second option is the "Science Track," designed for youth ages 12-18. This track offers more in-depth educational sessions. It will build knowledge and skills in wildlife and forest sciences, connect content from 4-H Wildlife and Forestry project books to real-life applications, and introduce youth to natural resource careers. An OPTIONAL interactive quiz will be offered at the end of the day to help identify youth who may be interested in or prepared for national-level 4-H opportunities.

Sessions are different each year, and no prior experience or project work is required.

Parents are welcome to stay for the day, but must pre-register.
