Conservation Field Day Teaches Students About the Environment

September 19th, 2022 by Jordan Finnerty

Fifth grade students at Sandy Creek Elementary were recently treated to a fun day of learning at Selkirk Shores State Park during the 34th annual Conservation Field Day.

Hosted by the Oswego County Soil and Water Conservation District, students rotated through several conservation-themed stations, led by various volunteers. Some of the topics included trapping, fishing, and learning about local wildlife. Students were also able to do hands-on activities and use some of the equipment that real forest rangers use.

"This is such a wonderful program," said Sandy Creek teacher, Patti King. "The kids learn so much from the volunteers and their presentations. It's a joy to be here and we're so grateful to the volunteers who take the time to teach our kids."
