Educational Field Days are available and are conducted in many counties throughout the state. We partner with https://www.progressiveag.org/ or provide this on our own. It can be done for just one small class or a whole grade or school. This is a free opportunity. We set up stations for students to rotate through every 10/20 minutes to teach students about agriculture/ farm safety and natural resources. Grades 3rd-6th are recommended but can be done for any age. Some examples of the stations are :
Wildlife
Soils
Veggie Relay
Snake Safety & Awareness
Chemical Look-a-Likes
Gun Safety & Awareness
Tractor Safety
Sun Safety
Forestry & Burning Safety
Native Animals & Farm Care Awareness
Alligator Awareness
Ambulance Safety
ATV Safety
Pollination/Honey Bees
Our environmental education programs provide interactive learning experiences for students and adults to engage in non-biased, science-based, hands-on learning that encourages the building of critical thinking skills and good decision-making processes.
Research shows that students are more likely to remember and be able to apply skills and knowledge that are experienced. 85-90% will remember what they see, hear and do; while only 10-15% remember things they have read or heard. We want to provide opportunities for students to experience environmental education!
