This agent has been working with youth involved in 4-H and FFA wildlife judging competitions. This year 22 youth from the Silver FFA chapter have attended practices for the FFA career development events throughout the state.

At the conclusion of the FFA competition year, 5 students involved switch gears and begin practicing the Wildlife Habitat Evaluation Program for 4-H competition.
