Natural Resources Education
The Marion County Soil and Water Conservation District ("SWCD") strongly supports conservation education efforts in the county.  Because of limited resources our goal is to work with educators to assist them in locating resource materials to use in the classroom and help schools in developing outdoor classrooms or labs for student use in the future.

Environmental Educational Aids (Lesson Plans)
These were developed in two different formats depending on your needs
Know Your Soil     format-      pdf  or  Microsoft Word
Know Your Land    format-     pdf  or  Microsoft Word
