They discuss and learn about such topics as recycling, water conservation, proper camping techniques, wildlife habitats and endangered species. According to Joe Totman, Knutzen Hall director, this idea came from the bottom up as student residents expressed a strong interest in making a positive impact on area children. Our goal was to share some of our knowledge with young people. So far it has been a very positive experience for all involved. We may want to look into doing this program again next year.
Parents bring their children to the hall for each two-hour session.
On October 30 the children will hold an environmental fair beginning at 10 a.m. at Knutzen. The event will allow the students to show the community what they have learned these past five weeks.
