Franklin County Conservation District

"Conserving our Natural Resources for the Future"

Education Programs

One of the Conservation District’s primary goals is to provide educational opportunities and information related to conservation and environmental education. For this reason it is only natural for the Conservation District to partner with local schools to promote conservation of our natural resources and also to promote the number one industry in Kansas…Agriculture.

We are here to assist educators in any way possible; this includes giving classroom presentations, providing educational brochures or other resources, and also providing opportunities for teachers to earn graduate credits!

Below you will find information about all the educational activities, lessons and programs which are available through the Conservation District.

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. Many of our environmental education programs provide interactive learning experiences for students to engage in hands-on learning!
