WHEP Worskshop Take a leap this year and check out something new. A statewide 4-H WHEP Project Workshop will be held in Brown County on February 29, 2020 . WHEP is the Wildlife Habitat Education Project and is not new but is probably new to most 4-H members across the state. This project culminates with the 4-H WHEP State Contest but offers much more than a study resource.
