Conserving and Protecting our Natural Resources
Annual Poster Contest Entries Due on September 29



Enviroscape Model
An Enviroscape watershed/nonpoint source pollution model is available for checkout. The Enviroscape® was developed as an educational tool to increase awareness of water pollution. It promotes awareness by showing sources of water pollution and the methods that are being used to control those pollution sources. The Enviroscape® Model comes with a user's guide and suggested activities. Teachers and other educators can checkout the model for classroom use by contacting the district office or contact our staff about making a classroom presentation.

Natural Resource Days

Our district provides Natural Resources Days for schools in Oklahoma County. We set up education stations on topics such as fishing, forestry, soils, water, wetlands, or wildlife. Students rotate through sessions, usually 40-45 minutes in length. The students at left are participating in the Project WET activity The Incredible Journey.
Environmental Education Posters
World of Pollinator and Native Bees posters are available through the District office while supplies last. Please call or email us to reserve your copy of these colorful posters.


National Land and Range Judging Contest
Our district is very involved with the National Land and Range Judging Contest held each year in Oklahoma City. The district manager serves as the contest coordinator, and the district secretary handles all the pre-registration.

Outdoor Classrooms

District provides technical assistance to local schools with outdoor classroom projects such as wetlands.
Workshops
We sponsor educational workshops for landowners, businesses, and other individuals. Workshops such as Feral Hog Management, Pond Management, and Soil Health provide a service to our citizens and help them manage their natural resources.
