Jackson Wallen, an FFA member from Illinois, discusses his two interconnected SAE projects in wildlife management and agricultural processing. His wildlife management project involves trapping nuisance animals like raccoons, beavers, and moles for property owners, while his ag processing project transforms the harvested animal materials into commodities such as fur hats, gloves, and koozies. Beyond his individual projects, Jackson also contributes to his chapter by maintaining the school pond's ecosystem, demonstrating the diverse opportunities available within wildlife management education.
