Forestry, Wildlife & Fisheries

Explore Tennessee’s great outdoors with 4-H! In this project, you’ll learn about wildlife, their habitats, and the natural resources they depend on. Discover the science behind forests, fish, and game—and how to protect them for future generations.

Along the way, you can take part in hands-on activities and outdoor adventures like:

  • Target Smart Camp – Sharpen your outdoor skills in a fun camp setting
  • Shooting Sports – Practice safety, accuracy, and discipline with archery and firearms
  • Wildlife Judging Teams – Learn to identify animal species, evaluate habitats, and compete with other 4-H’ers
  • Fishing & Hunting Education – Understand the importance of conservation and responsible recreation

Whether you’re tracking animal signs, learning to manage land, or just love the outdoors, this project is your path to real-world skills and unforgettable experiences.
