The Forest County Conservation District and Planning Department recently visited West Forest for a day of activities organized by Morgan Miller and Donna Zofcin.
The program was designed to focus on the environment, ecology and nature in Forest County and to spark interest in the younger students to get involved with the Envirothon competition when they get to high school.
Students from East Forest traveled across the county and participated in many combined seminars and hands-on activities.
Grades 3-8 took part in workshops on macroinvertebrates, forestry services, wildlife, birds of prey and ticks and understanding soil layers.
Students in the primary grades took part in activities about the macroinvertebrates and forest wildlife.
