If you are interested in conservation or learning about what RSWCD does please attend. There is an election in 2026 and this could be a really good opportunity for you to learn how government moves, if you are interested in being involved. Thank you.

Presented about honeybees at Dr Hawkin’s 3rd grade class. Great group of children. Thank you Dr Hawkins for inviting RSWCD to discuss why bees are important and the three main factors harming honeybees (Varroa Mites, Pesticides, and Habitat Loss). It was fun and I enjoyed hearing the students’ ideas about how to save the honeybee. Thank you.
