High school students get their hands dirty with restoration

The start of the 2010-11 school year marks the third year that the Napa County Resource Conservation District (RCD) is coordinating the SLEWS (Student and Landowner Education and Watershed Stewardship) program in Napa County.  The SLEWS program engages local high school students in real habitat restoration projects that enhance their knowledge of local ecology.  The program encourages students to see the power they have to effect positive change in the landscape and introduces students to possible careers in agriculture, education and natural resource conservation.  One of SLEWS’ goals is to plant the seed for a lifelong connection to the natural world.
