This week, rising sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders are participating in Conservation Camp, hosted by the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Aquaculture. Staff member Evan O'Donnell shows camper Matthew Parker an up-close view of the bluegill he caught at the research facility on Blackjack Road. Campers learn about the Mississippiâs natural ecosystems while they experience real-world science and explore the outdoors.
