Northampton
County Junior Conservation School
In 1980, a dedicated group of sportsmen and community
leaders decided it was time to develop a comprehensive
environmental education program for the youth of Northampton
County. This program has developed into one of the most
successful county- based conservation school programs in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, serving the entire region of the
state.
In the continuing effort to instill a positive attitude,
leadership skills, and a conservation ethic among our youth, the
Northampton County Junior Conservation School continues providing this
unique experience every year. The conservation school is staffed

group of dedicated volunteers composed of sportsmen,
returning students, community leaders, state agencies, and
organizations. This valuable educational experience is available
for only one week of every year in the month of July.
The school offers 35 boys and girls between the ages of 14 and
17 an opportunity to work with other youth and adults in a
hands-on, practical, non-traditional learning experience. This
is accomplished through lecture, personal observation,
discussion, and problem solving activities.
The award winning
program curriculum has been developed by the Jacobsburg
Environmental Education Center of the Pennsylvania Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources, Education Specialists, and
other professionals from the conservation and environmental
fields. |
