Working towards a career as a Wildlife Biologist

UPPER MICHIGAN – Join 4-H staff as we take a look into life working with fisheries and wildlife! This month’s 4-H Wild Spartans Series will soar the skies and explore waters and woods along the edge of Lake Superior in search of the many species that call them home. Turtles, deer and geese, oh my! 
      Join us on Tuesday, Jan. 10 at 6:30 p.m. EST for “Working Towards A Career As A Wildlife Biologist”. You will meet Erin Johnston, Wildlife Biologist- Wildlife & Habitat Section Lead, Keweenaw Bay Indian Community and Natural Resources Department. 
We will talk to a biologist about researching, managing and protecting species with cultural significance. You will learn about her field work, and the education and career path she followed to get there. 
Youth will be encouraged to ask questions to learn more through a live Q&A. This free series is open to 4-H and non-4-H youth ages 12-19 years. Monthly sessions will be held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. EST.
