The Jefferson Conservation District and North Fork Watershed Association combined to sponsor a Watershed Camp for children ages 6-9.  It was a great learning experience for particpants.

With the use of the Enviroscape, Grace Pesselato taught participants what a watershed is and how they can get polluted.

Students played a game get to know their fellow campers.

Students enjoyed getting a dragonfly or a butterfly painted on their face by Missy Buck. 

After learning about Acid Mine Drainage, students tie-dyed a t-shirt using iron oxide water.

Campers learned how our water gets from the stream to our faucets at a tour of the Brookville Water Treatment Plant.

On the nature walk, Gary Gilmore showed campers that pine cones are a food supply for red squirrels.

Campers learned how our forests are important for both our air and water.
