The Dare County Soil & Water Conservation District (DSWCD) in North Carolina is offering a local student a chance to attend the 2024 Resource Conservation Workshop (RCW) at North Carolina State University, free of charge. The workshop, worth $575, will run from June 16-21, 2024. The RCW, established in the 1960s, aims to educate students about natural resource conservation.

The offer is available to high school students from freshman to senior year, excluding those graduating. The chosen student should be interested in a career in natural resource management, such as agriculture, fisheries/wildlife conservation, forestry, or related fields. One student from Dare County and an alternate will be selected.

Students can apply by submitting an application to DSWCD Community Conservationist Charlie Sanders, either via email, in person at the DSWCD office in Manteo, or by mail. The application deadline is 5 p.m. on Monday, May 6, 2024.

The DSWCD board will select the student and an alternate on Tuesday, May 14, 2024. The selected student will be notified via email and will be required to meet with DSWCD staff before the workshop and provide a brief report afterwards.

For more details about the RCW or the application process, students can contact Charlie Sanders, DSWCD Community Conservationist.
