    2012 Conservation Fair for Grades 1 - 4
    Thursday, September 27, 2012  from 9am - 1:30pm
    Union Fairgrounds


    Bring your students to the Conservation Fair to uncover the connections between the environment and their everyday lives. Throughout the day, up to 30 presenters from federal, state, and local agencies and non-profits will engage teachers and students in age-appropriate demonstrations or activities. Topics include aquaponics, tree identification, local foods taste-testing - and lots more!  

    The Conservation Fair is held annually on the last Thursday in September at the Union Fairgrounds (map), with even-numbered years reserved for early elementary students and odd-numbered years for middle school students. Every fall Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District brings together exhibitors and presenters with students from Knox and Lincoln county schools for a day of exploring conservation topics, environmental issues, live animals and farming, music, and fun.

    This fair is offered free to public, private, and home schools.
