Classroom Presentations

Mecklenburg Soil and Water Conservation District personnel are available to visit schools at any time throughout the school year to discuss conservation topics related to soil and water.

Mecklenburg SWCD can design a program specifically for your students, but we ask that the class size for these programs be kept to 25 or fewer students. We can schedule an all-day event to accommodate multiple classes.

To schedule a presentation or for more information, please contact Anganette Byrd, Certified Environmental Educator at 704-336-2455.
