Environmental Activity Day
4-H Youth Development
Youth need to understand how their actions impact our environment.
Environmental education programs teach youth how to be good stewards of
the earth.
An Environmental Activity Day was conducted to teach youth about how they
affect the environment and how the environment affects their lives. Youth were
educated about current environmental problems and how they could help prevent
new problems. Program topics were recycling, composting, water wonders,
packaging and making paper. The Environmental Activity Day was conducted at the
Ozark Fair Building.
Franklin County 4-H members, parents, leaders and other guest youth attended
the Environmental Activity Day. Missy Stubblefield, Charleston 4-H Leader;
Robert Hunter, ADEQ; and Suzanne Hirrel, LRSO- Extension; conducted workshops at
the Environmental Activity Day.
103 adults and youth (82 youth) learned about the affects they have on the
environment and how the environment affects their lives. They learned how to
recycle, how to worm compost, and how to make paper.
As a result of the Environmental Activity Day, youth and adults will be good
stewards of the environment.
