Students explore nature at McDonough County Conservation Day

More than 200 fifth-grade students from schools across McDonough County gathered Oct. 2 at the McDonough County 4-H Fairgrounds for Conservation Day, an annual event focused on hands-on learning about wildlife, natural resources and environmental stewardship. The event drew seven classes from Edison Middle School, two classes from West Prairie Community Unit School District 103 and one class from St. Paul Catholic School, according to a community announcement. Organizers moved the program from Argyle Lake State Park to the 4-H Center because of wet and muddy conditions. Students rotated through a series of interactive educational stations led by conservation professionals and community organizations from across the region. Activities introduced participants to topics including forestry, fisheries, wildlife habitats and conservation practices. A highlight for many students was an opportunity to view Illinois aquatic species up close and meet a large snake during one of the presentations. Organizers said the hands-on approach encouraged students to engage directly with the natural world and learn about ecosystems in their communities. Community organizations lead learning activities University of Illinois Extension coordinated the event with support from a variety of partners that provided educational sessions and demonstrations. “We are incredibly grateful to all our partners for
