The Berks County Conservation District will conduct the Don Hartman Conservation Leadership School from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., June 22 through 24, 2022, at the Berks County Agricultural Center. High school students can learn about careers in ecology and conservation from local professionals while having fun engaging in hands-on activities. They can also gain community service hours for graduating by participating in environmental service projects.

The Berks County Conservation District is dedicated to the encouragement and instruction of the wise stewardship of the soils and waters of Berks County so that present and future generations may have healthy land on which to live and work and clean water for drinking and recreation.

Their vision is to become a leading professional conservation organization that provides high-quality programs and services to present and future residents in the rapidly changing Berks County natural resources conservation environment.
