Resource District sponsoring a student at Range Camp

The San Mateo County Resource Conservation District is sponsoring an interested student to participate for free this summer in the annual Range and Natural Resources Camp at Elkus Ranch south of Half Moon Bay.

Students 15-18 years old can experience the science and management of natural resources through classroom and field activities led by university faculty and resource management professionals. They will learn about career and college opportunities too, and this will look great on a college application.  It is likely that they will be able to get a letter of recommendation from the RCD for college as well. Topics and activities will include:

• Riparian Watershed Management
• Rangeland Management
• Wildlife Management
• Field Projects
• Forestry
• Recreation
• Private & Public Lands
• Urban Encroachment
• Team Project Planning Competition

You can download the flyer and brochure for the program from Coastsider. Please see the attached materials for reference, or interested students may contact me directly by email ([email protected]) or by phone (650.712.7765). if you’re interested, email or call today. The brochure shows a deadline of Monday, May 14.
