Youth learn cultural and ecological stewardship at Rolette County day camp
Students gathered June 25 at the Anishinabe Learning, Cultural & Wellness Center in Belcourt, North Dakota, for a day camp focused on conservation, according to the North Dakota office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The Rolette County Soil Conservation District and the Anishinabe Center hosted the camp with support from NRCS.
The event featured six rotating learning stations covering soils, wetlands, engineering, rangeland, wildlife and tree identification. Presenters included NRCS staff and professionals such as Adam Flaagan, tribal liaison for Spirit Lake Nation, and Beth Miller, of the North Dakota Forest Service.
