The District sponsors students to Camp Woods & Wildlife and Youth Conservation Camp. We also organize an environmental camp each summer.
Meaningful Watershed Education Experiences are offered to all 6th grade students in both Buckingham and Cumberland Counties.
Each year the District sponsors a poster contest with a new theme. Great opportunity for K-12 students to win some cash prizes! We also team up with Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts to offer a photo contest open to people of all ages.
The Virginia Envirothon is a team based natural resources competition for high school students. Students who participate learn stewardship and management concepts and work to solve real world environmental problems. The program is field-oriented, community based and gives students an opportunity to work with natural resource professionals.
The District offers a $2,000 dollar scholarship each year to two seniors in Buckingham & Cumberland Counties.
