From Hyde Soil & Water Conservation District

Bell Noble, a rising sophomore at Pungo Christian Academy, has been selected to attend the Resource Conservation Workshop at North Carolina State University on June 26-July 1. The North Carolina Association of Soil & Water Conservation Districts hosts this workshop. The Hyde Soil & Water Conservation District is sponsoring Noble by providing her registration fees and travel expenses.

Noble is the daughter of Derek and Kris Cahoon Noble of Swan Quarter. She is interested in learning about natural resources and their management in today’s environment.

The Resource Conservation Workshop is a week of intensive study requiring students’ attention and participation in a wide range of conservation topics. The students will learn about soil characteristics and soil conservation, wildlife and fisheries management, forest management, nonagricultural uses for soils and water quality and watershed management.

The students will take several field trips to different facilities and will experience hands-on learning in the field. At the end of the week of study, the students will have an opportunity to compete for awards and scholarships through their participation in the workshop.
