 Environmental Education
  The Sac County Conservation Board employs a full-time naturalist who is responsible for providing quality outdoor programming for schools, civic clubs, private groups and the general public. Programs are offered year round and span a variety of topics including landscaping, wildflower identification, bird watching, cross-county skiing, birdhouse construction and many more! Summer and winter day camps are offered for youth as well as in-class and on-site programs for Sac County’s five school districts.

Environmental education programs expose participants to Iowa’s wildlife including live animals, mounted specimens, study skins and media resources. Hands-on activities are stressed so that learning can become an up-close and personal experience. Programs are tailored for individual audiences and when given for school groups, are often mirroring what the students are learning at that time.

Environmental education is an important part of all people’s lives, giving them a better and more complete view of the world around them and thus making them more informed citizens. By combining science, art, social studies, language, and mathematics, environmental education is a powerful learning tool. To find out more about environmental education opportunities in Sac County, please call the SCCB office at (712) 662-4530.
