Today is the last day to register for this qualifying event!

Today is the last day to register for the PA 4-H Wildlife & Forestry Competition!

The competition will be held on Saturday, October 17 at Blue Spruce Creek Park in Indiana, PA.

This year, the Forestry and Wildlife competitions are transitioning from the spring field day to a stand-alone full-day event in the fall. This change will allow for a more comprehensive state competition that better reflects national contest formats and provides participants with additional time to prepare and build their skills.

This event is open to 4-H youth ages 14-18. Members must be at least 14 years old as of January 1, 2026, to be eligible for selection to a national team.

Learn more and register by September 29: https://4h.zsuite.org/event-registrations/57974
