NEW!  Check out our Soil Ecosystem program.  Students search through soil to find and identify living organisms!

This field trip is perfect for our adapted U.S. Fish and Wildlife "Biologist in Training" Program (BiT)!  Contact us for more information about how your students can receive their embroidered Biologist in Training patch!

Don't forget about the Jim Claypool Conservation "Art and Writing Contest." The District can provide educational programs to encourage student participation in the contests!  The 2009-10 contest will be on the topic of WATER.  The 2009-10 contest information and pamphlet has gone "green" and can be downloaded  in late summer or early fall at:

http://www.conservation.ky.gov or http://www.ky.fb.com

Students in grades 1-5 may enter the Art (poster) contest and students in grades 6-12 may enter the Writing (essay) contest.  All entries must be submitted to the District for judging at the county level.  The top three in each category will be chosen by the District.  First place winners will  then be judged at region and state levels.  Prizes will be awarded to winners at each level (county, region and state).
The Jefferson County teacher with the County Winner in each category will receive a $500 environmental education grant from the District!
Congratulations to Shea Jennings of duPont Manual High School for becoming the 2008-09 State Winner in the Writing Contest!  See our newsletter to read the winning essay, photos and information about our other county winners!
