The VSWCD views the area as an excellent opportunity for conservation education for Valencia youth (see Friends of Whitfield and Service Learning) as well as drawing on ecotourism to bring an added economy to Valencia County.
You can be a part of helping Whitfield grow as a refuge for wildlife and as a center for community by becoming a member of the Friends of the Whitfield Wildlife Conservation Area.
