The Central Columbia Agricultural/Environmental Science Program in conjunction with the Columbia County Conservation District sponsored and hosted the 2019 Outdoor Adventure Camp for students in grades 3 through 6. This environmental educational opportunity permits the high school students to work with community agencies in presenting information in regard to forestry, invasive species, aquatic resources, pollination, land management issues and habitat management in a hands-on learning environment.
