Join us as we study the biology and habitats of over 60 Tennessee species, as we prepare for a competition against other Middle Tennessee teams in a Wildlife Contest. This club is open to all 4th – 12th grade youth who have an interest in wildlife and conservation.
Using the Wildlife Habitat Education Program (WHEP) manual, participants will practice wildlife identification and life history knowledge. Virtual practices will focus on skill and teambuilding, while our in-person meetings will allow for hikes, seeing pelts and skulls up close, and games.
