Every year, Conservation Districts in Georgia sponsor high school students to attend the Natural Resources Conservation Workshop (NRCW) held annually at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton, GA. The 5 day Workshop allows students to take part in lectures and hands-on activities to boost their knowledge of Georgia’s vital natural resources. It also provides them with a taste of college life while delivering valuable insight into careers in agriculture and natural resources through their counselors and instructors.
Over $17,000 in scholarships was awarded at the event.
Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to Conservation Districts for providing this opportunity for the students!
