YOUTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS

Education is a huge part of what we do here at BSWCD! These programs are designed to help students learn about environmental stewardship and how they can make a difference in their own county!
Our Education and Outreach Coordinator is available to present classroom conservation programs for schools and youth groups on a limited basis. 


Guidelines
  • Programs are typically presented to one class at a time (max 25 students) 
  • Most of our programs are 30-60 minute presentations depending on the topic.
  • Programs are available on first-come, first-serve basis and educator's calendars fill up quickly. Please contact us ASAP if you are interested in a program at your school.
  • These programs are FREE with no cost to the school or youth group.
