🌿🦅 FUN FACT FRIDAY | Wildlife habitat Educational (WHEP) Summer Session Spotlight! 🦅🌿
Our WHEP Summer Session Wilson Hall youth enjoyed a special Revolutionary Hike at Poinsett State Park, led by Park Ranger Mark Owens!
Along the trail, youth explored the park’s history, wildlife, and natural resources while putting their outdoor knowledge into action. We were also joined by a special guest who shared her knowledge of birds and birding, adding another exciting layer to the adventure. 🐦🌳
🏅 Achievement Unlocked!
Our youth successfully completed the requirements for their Level 1 Park Ranger badges, which were presented during the session. Congratulations to our young park rangers! 👏🏾
💡 Fun Fact Friday: Poinsett State Park is 1 of 16 South Carolina State Parks built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)—giving our youth an opportunity to experience history, conservation, and nature all in one place.
A huge thank you to Ranger Mark Owens and the Poinsett State Park team for creating such a memorable hands-on learning experience!
🌱 Explore. Learn. Conserve. Lead.

Our colleagues at Penn State have a FREE Lunch & Learn webinar all about bits on August 19, 2026, from 12-1pm EST. Please register ahead of time using the link below.
🏇
Selecting and evaluating a bit can be challenging given the wide range of options available. This webinar explores the fundamentals of bit fit and function, including how different cheekpieces and mouthpieces influence pressure and communication between horse and rider. Participants will learn about snaffle and curb bits, leverage, ports, bit materials, and bitless options while examining common myths and misconceptions surrounding bit use. The program will also discuss factors to consider when selecting a bit based on the needs of the individual horse, rider, and discipline, providing practical information to support equine welfare and effective communication.
