 Educators are invited to participate in a mobile conservation education program offered by personnel of the Zigzag Ranger District of Mt. Hood National Forest.
The program is being offered on Wednesdays during the 2011-2012 school year. Currently, lesson plans are designed for 2nd to 7th graders and focus on four main subject areas: Botany, Hydrology/Fisheries, Wildlife, and Geology. We bring the program to you so budgets can be stretched by keeping costs of field trips and buses down.
