Sixth Graders Have Conservation Field Trip
Author: LaRinda Spenser
Broadwater Conservation District hosted a 6th Grade Conservation Day on September 14, 2022, at York’s Island. This is an annual event for BCD with presenters educating students while they had fun in the great outdoors. Students learned about conservation issues like Be Bear Aware, Compass Training, Invasive Species, Tree Health, Outdoor Liter, Invertebrates, Local Fish, How Water Flows and Fly Fishing. Presenters are all volunteers that love teaching children about conservation and the great outdoors.
6th-grade teachers, and over 55 kids, arrived at the park early. Broadwater Cattle Women served delicious sandwiches for lunch. This day was made possible by a grant through DNRC and the Supervisors of Broadwater Conservation District. BCD believes in common sense conservation issues and works tirelessly to assist local landowners with issues related to conservation.
“Thanks for including us in your 6th Grade Conservation Day event. I really, really enjoyed working with the students. They were great. They had great questions and responded well. They inspired me. I certainly would look forward to working with them or another group of kids in the future.”
Chuck Bartelough, Be Bear Beware
