Coordinated by the Oswego County Soil and Water Department, volunteer experts presented in outdoor classroom stations on a variety of topics related to conservation efforts in our county.

The presentation stations included water protection and conservation, tree growth and identification, logging and tree harvesting, invasive species, and plant and animal life in Oswego County.
