Kansas City, Mo. - August 5, 2025 - Dove season is here. The Evergy Green Team is hosting its annual youth dove hunt to kick off the season.

The Evergy youth dove hunt is an excellent way to learn hunting fundamentals. The hunt will take place at Jeffrey Energy Center in St. Marys, KS, on Friday, August 29 (afternoon only) and Saturday and Sunday, August 30 and 31 (mornings and afternoons). Hunters will be scheduled as requests dictate, so hunting groups can be formed. Priority will be given to first time or less experienced hunters. To request an application, please email GreenTeam@evergy.com. Applications are due by noon on Friday, August 15.

The hunt is part of Evergy’s commitment to environmental education, conservation stewardship and community engagement and provides hands-on opportunities for young people to learn about wildlife management, ethical hunting practices and habitat conservation.

Hunters ages 13 – 16 years old may participate. They must bring their own shotguns, be accompanied by a non-hunting adult, and, if age 16, have a license and Harvest Information Program (HIP) stamp. Non-toxic shells will be provided.

The Evergy Green Team is a group of employees and retiree volunteers that complete an average of 60 environmental projects each year. They collaborate with conservation groups, agencies and schools to enhance and foster an understanding of the environment, as well as improve natural habitats and provide access to important environmental areas.
