Because the Person SWCD works hard to protect Person County’s natural resources, we are dedicated to encouraging and sponsoring strong and active Environmental Education programs for all ages. Staff is readily available to come and present environmental education programs that meet State requirements designed to fit the needs and interests of your students.

We have activities and lessons on a variety of natural resource topics. One popular presentation is our Enviroscape Watershed Non Point Source Model that teaches about the sources of water pollution and ways to protect our water quality. Common resources for our programs are Food, Land and People, Project Wet, It’s Our Water, and Project SWAT.

Presentations can be tailor made for:

• pre K - 12th grade classes
• homeschool students
• boy & girl scouts, environmental clubs, 4-H clubs
• church groups
• adult groups and civic clubs

Topics covered can include:

• conservation

• water quality
• agricultural environmental issues
• natural resource concerns
• recycling

• Poster Contests - 3rd, 4th, 5th grades
