Natural Resources Conservation Workshop

Natural Resources Conservation Workshop Workshop held on the campus of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College focuses on natural resources.

Natural Resources Conservation Workshop (NRCW) targets rising 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students (who have not graduated from high school) from all around Georgia. The NRCW is for students with a desire to learn more about Georgia’s natural resources and the opportunities and responsibilities they provide. More than $18,000 in scholarships will be awarded from this workshop. Experts from univers

ities and local, state, and federal natural resource agencies provide students with lectures and hands-on activities to enhance their understanding of Georgia’s vital natural resources. This workshop gives students a unique, one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn about Georgia’s natural resources—soil, water, air, plants, minerals, and animals from experts in each field utilizing classroom and field trip activities to help interested young people learn the basic principles and the responsible use of our natural resources. Students attending the workshop will get a taste of college life while gaining valuable insight into careers through their counselors and instructors consisting of professional personnel from the Department of Natural Resources, USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service, Georgia Forestry Commission, University of Georgia Extension Service and Warnell School of Forestry, Georgia Soil & Water Conservation Commission and many private industries and organizations. "Some of our youth do not realize the importance of our natural resources that we all depend on daily. This camp utilizes classrooms and field trips to help educate our students on the basic principles of conserving our natural resources," stated Workshop Director, Dennis Brooks. Scholarship sponsors include the Georgia Association of Conservation District Supervisors, ABAC Foundation, Georgia Chapter of American Public Works Association, Georgia Mining Association, Workshop Scholarship Fund, Flint River Soil and Water Conservation District, University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry, Fort Valley State University, Blue Ridge Mountain SWCD & Young Harris College, Piedmont Conservation Products, the Georgia Chapter NOPBNRCSE and West Georgia SWCD.
