Eco Ed Day Aug. 31 at Juanita Lake Park

Sixth grade students from Carrington and Midkota schools will travel to Juanita Lake Park on Wednesday, August 31, to participate in Eco Ed Day.

The event, which was launched in 1997, is an environmental learning experience devoted to educating Foster County students about conservation.

At Juanita Lake, participants will rotate between six different educational stations, lasting one half hour each. Station topics include rangeland, soils, water quality, wetlands and wildlife, forestry, and agronomy.

Each station is taught by a conservation professional and includes a hands-on portion whenever possible. At the conclusion of the day, a special presentation is held.
