Education Teachers & Students
Grafton County Conservation District(GCCD) is offering natural resource conservation stewardship materials to Grafton County fifth-grade students for FREE! Each year the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) prepares educational materials based on a natural resource conservation theme. The theme for 2012 is Soil to Spoon! Any fifth-grade level school group or community group (scouts, 4-H, etc) may receive the educational booklet for free, thanks to GCCD’s commitment to fostering natural resource conservation in the next generation. In additional to student educational booklet, we will also provide an educational guide with learning activities for teachers or leaders to use. The student booklet and educator guide contain activities to encourage students to think about our natural environment, and how our daily activities affect the world around us. Our security depends on healthy soil and clean water. Conservation stewardship calls for each person to help conserve these precious resources. If a Grafton County fifth-grade group would like to receive these materials, please notify the Conservation District by March 23, 2012, by phone: (603) 353-4652, ext. 103 or email: pamela.gilbert@nh.nacdnet.net. We will order the materials developed by NACD to encourage good stewardship of the soil, water, wildlife and all natural resources. In order to have adequate materials we will need to know the number of teachers or group leaders, the number of students participating for each group, and the correct mailing address. We will forward the materials to your school or community group when they arrive. contact us
