THE FALL SCHOOL SEASON HAS STARTED, GROUPS ARE SCHEDULING AND STUDENTS ARE LEARNING AT THE RESERVE. THESE ARE SOME OF MS. RADCLIFF'S CLAREMORE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS DOING RESEARCH FOR THEIR YOUNG NATURALIST COMPETITION. SCHEDULING A GROUP AT THE RESERVE As if getting permission to take a field trip was not hard enough, we realize that the increase in the price of fuel has made field trips even harder to plan. We understand that the rising fuel cost is going to have an impact on where or even if a field trip can be taken. We hope that the quality of our Education programs will keep us at the top of your list of field trip choices. To ensure the quality of our programs remains high we must restrict the numbers of students. Having stated that, we also understand that most schools can not afford to send just one class per day. To assist the schools with large numbers, we will now do groups up to 120 students on a single day. However, do to facility restrictions, the group will be treated as two separate groups. One group will work out of the Terra lab side, while the other will work out of the Aquatics lab. The two groups will not interact and will not eat together. We realize this will make a little more work on your end (making sure kids and lunches are on the same bus, and the splitting of the groups will also need to be done ahead of time). Both groups will cover the same topic, and be involved in the same activities; they will just be on different trails. We hope this and other changes make your field trip selections easier. Robert Gibbs Rogers County Conservation District Conservation Education Coordinator WE ARE NOW SCHEDULING GROUPS FOR THE FALL OF 2008 AND SPRING OF 2009. TO SCHEDULE YOUR GROUP TO COME AND VISIT THE CONSERVATION EDUCATION RESERVE. (MORE INFORMATION)
The Chelsea 5th grade Science club visited the Reserve last spring with their teacher Mr. Anderson. They went wading into the wetlands at the Reserve to collect aquatic life and then returned to the Aqua lab to study what they had collected. It was a great way to learn about wildlife by participating with wildlife. The next Rogers County Conservation District Board Meeting has been scheduled for October 2, 2008 at 4:00 p.m. at the Rogers County Conservation District located at 1900 W. Will Rogers Circle, Claremore, Oklahoma. The Agenda will be posted 24 hours prior to
each meeting.
