Menard County SWCD has been proud to sponsor students to camps and brigades for many years. These conservation learning adventures provide students with a plethora of information and experience for upholding the conservation of our natural resources.

​

​This year, Farm Bureau has partnered with MCSWCD, enabling us to provide scholarships to many more students. 

​

The week-long Youth Range Workshop, sponsored by the Texas Section of the Society for Range Management (TSSRM), is held annually in June at the Texas Tech University Center at Junction.

We are excited for Jacey Sealy to attend Range Camp II.  Recently Jacey traveled to Monterey, California to represent TSSRM to the Society for Range Management’s High School Forum (SRM-HSYF).  Jacey shared her presentation prior to attendance with the MCSWCD and Farm Bureau Boards, then came back to report on her experience.  (See picture.)  Her next adventure to Range Camp II will be an extension of Range Camp. 

 

Only selected students are invited to attend the additional camp.  Makenzie Wright attended last year, so Jacey is the second MCSWCD camper to be invited back. 

 

There are also several Texas Brigades camps offered on a variety of conservation and ag-related topics, held throughout the state.

In addition to conservation, wildlife and range management practices, range and brigade camps offer leadership development and other lifetime skills.

​

Jacey, Makenzie and other students from Menard County are interested in attending this year's range and brigade camps.  Thanks for our partnership with Farm Bureau, MCSWCD will be able to provide as many scholarships as possible for eligible students.​​​​​
