Loading...
Summary
The Warren County Conservation District told the fiscal court it plans a children's magazine, an activity book, a 'conservation passport' program for schoolchildren and continued Envirothon team support; funding options for the new magazine (subscriptions or sponsorships) are still being explored.
Representatives of the Warren County Conservation District briefed the fiscal court on a year of outreach and education work and introduced new materials aimed at children.
A presenter described a children’s magazine and a quarterly activity book developed by district staff, along with a planned ‘conservation passport’ that students can carry to sites around the county to collect stamps and earn prizes. The presenter said the district is exploring funding through subscriptions or sponsorships to distribute the magazine to elementary schools.
The district also reported ongoing cost‑share programs and administration of state and federal conservation programs, and highlighted Envirothon participation: six teams across three high schools, with Gatton Academy noted as a recent state winner and a top‑ranking national competitor.
The court thanked the district for its work and encouraged county residents and school staff to use district services such as free soil‑test vouchers. No county appropriation or action was requested at the meeting.
