The Wildlife Program engages 4-H members in a variety of hands-on activities and experiences that cultivate an increased understanding and appreciation for Kentucky's wildlife resources. 

Kentucky 4-H believes that all youth should have opportunities for positive youth development in our four guiding concepts:  mastery, belonging, independence, and generosity. This program fosters mastery by learning about Kentucky's wildlife resources, belonging by interacting and connecting with adults and youth with similar interests, independence by practicing leadership skills and independent thinking, and generosity by participating in community service and citizenship activities. Contact your county extension office for more information (link).
