Ag in the Classroom ND

Kids today may not realize where their food and fiber products come from, but the North Dakota Agriculture in the Classroom program is working to change that. Agriculture in the Classroom efforts help K-12 teachers integrate agricultural information into the science, math, social studies, language arts and other classes they teach.

The North Dakota Envirothon is a problem-solving natural resource competition for high school students. Students receive real life, hands-on training in the areas of forestry, soil, water, wildlife and a current environmental issue. Natural resource professionals, dedicated citizens and teachers offer their time to work with students to develop the critical thinking skills necessary to make wise decisions in the future concerning natural resource and environmental issues. For more information on the event or about starting your own team visit the C2E2 (Coalition for Conservation and Environmental Education) website at, http://www.c2e2.gscience.org/c2e2/default.asp?ID=284   

Every year, Cass County SCD celebrates the vital role that women play in agricultural production and conservation by holding a celebratory program for women of Cass County involved in agriculture. This program offers an evening of educational and fun entertainment as well as an evening meal and prizes!
If you are a woman involved in agriculture and you do not normally receive an invitation to this event and would like to attend, please contact us by phone or email.

The TREES (The Regional Environmental Education Series) program consists of six separate programs designed to emphasize the need to protect and conserve our natural resources. They are presented lyceum style or in classroom setting. The presentations are provided at no or minimal cost to schools. They are sponsored by a local Soil Conservation District and grants from the Environmental Protection Agency, the North Dakota Natural Resource Trust, and North Dakota NPS Pollution Task Force. If you are a teacher in North Dakota and would like to have these programs presented to your class or school, please contact our office for scheduling.
