Education Programs

Upcoming Educational Events!

Dearborn County has a diverse Education Program satisfying the needs of both children and adults. Every year we offer a Pasture Walk, Forestry Field Day and Pond Clinic for the citizens of Dearborn County to learn how to implement conservation techniques on his or her own property. For the kids of Dearborn a fifth grade poster contest on Stewardship of the Land and the new Water Festival, for fourth graders is offered on a yearly basis. In conjunction with HHH RC&D an biyearly program on different conservation topics is offered just for educators. Watch for information for each of these programs and more!

We are working on determining the needs of our Educators in Dearborn County. This includes all types of educators.
