Event · part of 6. Species at risk. Do one of three

6(c). Visit a habitat project with a professional

Optional May not apply

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Species: which route for requirement 6?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

With your parent or guardian's and counselor's approval, work with a natural resource professional to find and visit a completed project improving habitat for a threatened or endangered species near you.

Note. This route needs approval from your parent or guardian AND your counselor, a natural resource professional willing to work with you, and a visit to a completed project. It is the most interesting of the three and the only one that cannot be done from a desk, so choose it deliberately and arrange it early.
