Prince William Soil and Water Conservation Districts' Education Mission:

We will improve the local and downstream water quality for the future and reduce soil loss in our community by educating youth about the importance of natural resources. They will learn how to sustain a healthy environment that balances human, plant, and animal needs for habitat.

Dates to remember:

Agriculture in the Classroom training will be held September 30, at Windy Knoll Farm, Nokesville from 4:30 - 7:30. Sign up now to reserve a spot! Email reservations to education@pwswcd.org.

The following are offered as presentations to Prince William County, City of Manassas Schools Districts and other groups located in Prince William County. These Conservation Presentations are also available to check out from our Conservation Capsule Library.

ATTENTION! Soil Program Participants: We are excited to introduce a new cost effective and eco-friendly Soil Profile Program replacing the Soil Profile Tubes which are made of plastic and require storage and maintenance. Our new program will present the soil profile on recycled paper and is a great learning tool for the students and better for the earth. Therefore, we will take reservations FOR THE WHOLE YEAR for the traditionally presented materials on a first come, first served basis until the 1,100 tubes are gone. On your reservation form please indicate if you would like our new eco-friendly soil profile card or the soil profile tubes.*
