Have you ever wondered about the process of how to preserve animals for study or display?  Participants aged 12-18 can come learn and practice this art on Thursday December 28 from 8am-5pm.

 

Andrew Wittenberg, Ellinwood High school science teacher and local taxidermist will help youth navigate the taxidermy process by creating a pheasant mount.

This will be a tedious process, and those serious about learning should register.

 

Ages 12-14 must register and attend with an adult that can assist with the process.  Ages 15-18 can bring an adult to assist if they choose.

 

Registration is required and will be limited to 10 participants.  Cost is $25 to cover supplies.  Participants will need to bring their own pheasant and can contact the KWEC for tips on how to hold the pheasant over until the class.  Efforts will be made by the KWEC crew to harvest a few additional birds.  Those in the class should also bring their lunch for the day.  To register, call 877-243-9268 or email amkern2@fhsu.edu.
