State 4-H FACE

The purpose of the 4-H FACE (Food And Cover Establishment) Project is to educate youth in the proper techniques of food plot establishments to benefit small game and other wildlife species. Each youth receives enough seed to create and develop a 1/8 to 1/4 acre wildlife plot for which they must maintain and document observations.Program Overview (149 KB, PDF) - Sample Record Book (159 KB, PDF) - Sample Record Sheet (55 KB, PDF), Application (229 KB, PDF)
