ROGERS COUNTY CONSERVATION DISTRICT
STRIVING TO CONSERVE NATURAL RESOURCES THROUGH EDUCATION AND PRACTICES |
2008 Annual Report
Information and Education
The Rogers County Conservation District participates in Conservation Education activities across the state and partners with other districts, other state and federal agencies and private partners to convey the message of conservation and the importance of Oklahoma’s natural resources. This year the District sponsored our annual Earth Day concert with a conservation theme which had approximately 1046 of mostly fourth graders in attendance.
In addition to special events the Rogers County Conservation District manages the Rogers State University Conservation Education Reserve, a 120 acre outdoor classroom located adjacent to the Claremore, OK campus. District staff handles daily field trips from school groups, scheduled activities and year round use by the public. The curriculum is conservation centered and cross subject oriented, and geared for any age or grade. Our staff travels across Oklahoma, helping other Districts with their environmental and conservation programs.
Teacher training is also an important resource provided by the staff from the Rogers County Conservation District. This fiscal year recorded many opportunities across the state for teachers including workshops dealing with Project WET, Project WILD and Project Learning Tree, as well as specially designed and formulated workshops for educators and the public.
