Resource Conservation Workshop
Each year, Pamlico Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) selects and sponsors one high school student to attend the Resource Conservation Workshop at N.C. State University in June.
The Resource Conservation Workshop is a weeklong workshop and involves study and hands on participation in a wide range of conservation topics. Students are housed at NC State University campus dormitories under the guidance of live-in counselors. In order to achieve success, students should come prepared to meet the primary objective of the workshop -- learning about natural resources and their management in today’s global environment. Awards and scholarships can be won and are presented to students under several awards programs.
Candidates are selected each year in May so be sure to keep a look out for the next opportunity to apply.
More information can be found on the NC Division of Soil and Water Conservation website at Soil & Water - Resource Conservation Workshop | NC Agriculture.
