Education Teachers & Students
Grafton County Conservation District is excited to announce a new Stewardship Program for County fifth-grade students. Each year, the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) develops stewardship materials based on a conservation theme. The theme for 2010 is Conservation Habits = Healthy Habitats. If your class or 4-H group would like to receive stewardship materials, please notify this office by March 19, 2010. Contact: 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. Some thoughts from the Conservation Habits = Healthy Habitats stewardship materials: When we think about protecting and managing our natural resources we can provide healthy habitats for the ecosystems on our planet. Habitats are all across North America, you can find them in forests, grasslands, deserts, wetlands, arctic tundra as well as right outside your backdoor and in your community. There are many ways you can develop habitat area. Find an area at your home to plant trees or native plants. Plant native plants that bloom at different times to provide a food source for a longer period. Even if you don’t have to have a lot of space, any place you can plant at least a few native plants or trees will help.
Grafton County Conservation District is seeking applicants for the Jim Page Conservation Scholarship. The scholarship will be awarded to a resident of Grafton County attending a camp based in conservation, natural resources or environmental education. Each year Grafton County Conservation District year awards a scholarship of $250.00 in honor of Jim Page to an interested camper to foster learning in the area of natural resource conservation. The Jim Page Conservation Scholarship can be applied towards a 4-H Camp or conservation camp experience. Applicants must complete an application form available from Grafton County Conservation District, and write a short paragraph about why they would like attend a conservation camp. Scholarship recipients should be prepared to speak to the Grafton County Conservation District about their camp experience the following fall. Congratulations to Melanie Peters-Basch, 2010 Jim Page Conservation Scholarship Winner! 2010 Page Scholarship application
