In
The Field
While conventional classroom style instruction and learning
is effective, the Northampton County Junior Conservation School
places a strong emphasis on Field Trips and Hands-on Learning
experiences. These field experiences include a two day study of
the Delaware River watershed while canoeing the Delaware River,
visits to a wildlife rehabilitation center, water and waste
water treatment facilities, industrial and manufacturing
facilities, environmental devastation areas, and forest
ecosystems. The School also includes instruction in First Aid
and Safety, Firearms safety and Handling, Backpacking, Canoeing,
Water Quality Testing, and other interesting outdoors
experiences. |
