We built squirrel boxes and took them to the Jacksonport State Park. Sheila Medlock, Leader The Diaz Doers participated in United Way's Day of Caring by cleaning up in the city of Diaz. The Managing Rice For Ducks Program will once again be offered this year. In this program, youth or teams of youth work with farmers to learn about managing rice fields for waterfowl and other wildlife. Field notes and a narrative report are submitted for judging.
Great awards are available to the top placers.
Past awards have included shotguns, wildlife prints, savings bonds, and a tour of waterfowl nesting areas in North Dakota. All participants who complete the project receive a subscription to Arkansas Wildlife and Green Wings. Enrollment is due in by November 1. Contact Randy for more information. We are delighted to announce the addition of 14 new curriculum pieces for 4-H members and volunteer leaders.
