AG SCHOOL DAYS |
Ag School Days is an agriculture-related educational field trip presented to over 400 students. This past year was our eleventh year. Students are escorted through a series of ag-related stations that involved Animal Science, Nutrition, Research and Reproduction. The students also visited stations on Forestry, Water Quality Monitoring, Wildlife Adaptations, Electrical Safety, Weather Jeopardy and Fishing. Although we had a very wet couple of days, the students went home with a new understanding of our natural surroundings and earned a hint of farm life.

Pictured is Marcia Murphy, Noble SWCD Supervisor donating conservation themed books to the Noble Local Librarian Debbie Stapp. These books were collected during the summer Ohio Federation of Soil and Water Conservation Districts’ (OFSWCD) annual “Summer Supervisor School” meeting held at Salt Fork State Park. During this event, Ohio’s 88 county SWCD board supervisors and staff were challenged to “Bring a Book to School” with the donations benefiting schools in the southeastern Ohio area. Over 300 books were received during this two-day event.
“On behalf of the Noble Soil and Water Conservation District, we are extremely pleased to share these conservation books with our local schools,” said Murphy. “Conservation education is a key component of our work – because conservation activities benefit our quality of life through food, fuel resources, habitat and daily living. Therefore, it is critical that our kids understand the value and need for conservation and we hope this donation further enables this effort to occur.”
Book donations were also made to the Caldwell Elementary and The Noble Learning Center.
