The fifth grade students from Sidney Elementary joined nearly 60 students from Fremont-Mills, Hamburg, and Farragut on a Fremont County Soil and Water Conservation Field Day on Friday, May 8. The students and their chaperones traveled to Waubonsie State Park and the former Girl Scout Camp to engage in a full day's activities planned by various members of the Fremont County DNR. Thirty minutes sessions were presented on the following topics: Fish ID, Fishing, Soils, Wildlife, Rainfall Simulator, Forestry, and the Wetlands. The students enjoyed the various learning stations and the hands-on approach to learning about conservation. Some even became skilled in fishing and made a "big catch" or two! Great job by the Fremont County DNR!!
