In the fall of 2018 the Lake County Conservation District (LCCD) wanted to try a new program where LCCD staff and volunteers would have monthly natural resources lessons with a class in Lake County. LCCD wanted to give students an opportunity to learn about natural resources conservation topics in more detail by having lessons on a variety of natural resources subjects! LCCD calls this new program the Junior Conservationist Program. Lesson topics are listed below:
- Introduction to Natural Resources Conservation
- Soil Science
- Living with Wildlife
- Watershed Education
- Plant Agriculture
- Animal Agriculture
