Like many things, our environmental education programming got turned upside down this spring. With schools closed and programs canceled, we turned to virtual programming to help families get some home science in during quarantine. We featured a different theme each week and posted videos, projects and activities to do from home. Maybe you caught some of them on our Facebook page and website. If you didn’t, fear not! You can visit our Environmental Education page at PierceCD.org/218/Environmental-Education to see the collection of these virtual programs. The time is always right to explore nature and learn more about protecting our valuable natural resources.

WASHINGTON STATE FAIR VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Everything is in flux these days, but fingers crossed the State Fair will happen later this summer (September 4-27). Should it happen, we’ll need volunteers to help us at our booth. Interested in helping spread the word about PCD programs and opportunities? Fair admission and parking will be provided in return for your support.

Contact Chris at ChrisT@piercecd.org or (253) 845-9770 x112 if interested.

Science and art make a great team. The latest example is this year’s NACD poster contest, which focuses on our beloved pollinators. All K-12 students are invited to submit their artwork as part of the contest. For more information, visit the EE page on our website.
