Education

Environmental education is an important aspect of dealing with the environmental concerns that are facing us toady. From elementary school to adults, it is never to late to learn why it is important to conserve our natural resources and how we can accomplish those tasks. The District is active with  Youth Conservation Camp, the  Envirothon Competition, and outreach to the local schools. The District also provides college internship opportunities.
