WILD (Wilderness Inspired Leadership
Development) Roots strives to bring teens together to foster new friendships, develop
character, learn new outdoor recreation and land stewardship skills, and provide volunteer
opportunities.
There will be several meetings throughout the year on the following dates:
- January 12th, 4-6 PM – Winter Wander at Kenue Park
- March 23rd, 6-8 PM – Spring Soirée at Kenue Park
- June 1st, 6-8 PM – Summer Summit at Horseshoe Bend
- July 20th, 6-8 PM – Final Celebration at Kenue Park
“WILD Roots provides teens with meaningful experiences for growth, both personally
and in conservation,” said Amy Heibult, community relations coordinator of the Dickinson
County Conservation Board.
On January 12th, the group will head outside to hike throughout Kenue Park looking for
signs of animals. Using a key, they will identify the various animals and later mix up molds to
imprint tracks into.
Registration is now open for January 12th, and future event registration will open 2
months prior to each date. To register youth ages 13-18 or learn more, visit
