Conservation Fair
October 5, 2006
The participants are taken on a trail stopping along the
way to learn about forestry, soils, water quality, wildlife, recycling, and
agricultural crops. The success of this event is a result of the combined
efforts of numerous conservation agencies dedicated to promoting conservation
education to our youth. These agencies include: USDA Natural Resources
Conservation Service, MS Soil and Water Conservation Commission, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife, MS Department of Environmental Quality, and the MS Forestry
Commission, and the MS Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks, the Madison
County Sheriff's Department, Madison Police Department and the Ridgeland Police
Department. These agencies teach the children valuable lessons about boating and
gun safety and provide demonstrations on the use of K-9 teams.
The Fair was held October 6, 2005 with over 400 fifth grade students and 20
teachers and assistants participating. Schools that attended included: Canton
Academy, East Flora Elementary, Luther Branson School, Tri-County Academy,
Madison Avenue Upper Elementary, and a group of home schooled students.
We hope to see all of these school and more out for this year's event!
