Where the Wild Things Are: Camp Washington

WDFW recently partnered with Washington State Parks to host a live, virtual event to provide campers of all experience levels information about where to camp to find amazing Washington wildlife. Also included are the steps campers need to take once they get there to avoid negative interactions with wildlife.

The hour-long event was broadcast live from the campground at Millersylvania State Park, in Thurston County. If you missed out on the watching the live event, you can watch it on You Tube.
