Wild Spartans Series Fall 2025 - Spring 2026

Join 4-H staff as we meet scientists from across Michigan State University (MSU) Extension, the MSU Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, and more! Take a look into life as a fisheries and wildlife researcher and manager! Follow along as we climb through bogs, peer into bear dens, mist net songbirds, snorkel for fish, or perhaps even tag deer. Meet researchers, learn about their field work, and the education and career path they've followed to get there.

ABOUT THIS SERIES:
Sessions last approximately 30 minutes and will feature 1-2 guest researchers. Following presentations, youth will be encouraged to ask questions to learn more through a live Q&A with scientists. Suggested audience age is 12-19 years. Viewers are encouraged to watch together with their families.

This series is open to both 4-H members and non-4-H members. The series is free of charge.

Monthly Sessions will be held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. ET through March.
