Nicholas Cantrell and Roy
Lee Fowler, students at Pickens
High School, recently attended
a summer camp in Cochran to
learn all about Georgia's natural
resources and the various indi
viduals, groups and agencies
that work to protect those
resources. More than 100 stu
dents attended from all over
Georgia.
The NRCW is targeted
toward students with a desire to
learn more about Georgia’s nat
ural resources and the opportu
nities and responsibilities they
provide. More than $11,000 in
scholarships are awarded based
on test scores from quizzes
given throughout the week.
The workshop lasted five
days and was held on the cam
pus of Middle Georgia College
in Cochran. Experts from uni
versities, local, state and federal
natural resource agencies pro
vided students with lecture and
hands-on activities to enhance
their understanding of
Georgia’s vital natural
resources and the opportunities
and responsibilities that they
provide.
The summer camp is open to
Georgia high school students
ages 15 and 18 who have not
graduated from high school.
This workshop gives students a
unique, one-of-a-kind opportu
nity to learn about Georgia’s
natural resources - soil, water,
air, plants, minerals and animals
from the experts in the field.
“Many of our youth do not
realize the value of our natural
resources that we depend on
every day,’’ said Workshop
Director Britt Parker. “The
camp utilizes classroom and
field trip activities to help inter
ested young people learn the
basic principles and the respon
sible use of our natural
resources.”
Students that attended the
workshop got a taste of college
life while spending an entire
week on the college campus of
