The Wildlife Habitat Evaluation Program is a fun and challenging outdoor adventure where youngsters, age 8-18, learn about wildlife, conservation, and management. Guided by wildlife handbooks, specially designed for young people, volunteer leaders help youth learn about the needs of wildlife. The junior (age 12-13) and senior (age 14 -18) division youth then compete at a state contest in teams (individual participation possible). The novice group (ages 8-11) does not compete at the state contest, but learns about wildlife through fun educational activities and games.
Sponsors provide T-shirts and awards, including a trip for the top senior team to the National Wildlife Habitat Evaluation Invitational.
To get help to form a team, find a coach and learn more about WHEP you should contact your local extension office or Del Hemsath; Dakota, Dixon, Thurston counties. Phone: 402-584-2819, dhemsath@unlnotes.unl.edu.
