The Hickman County SWCD is involved in a variety of activities with other agencies and local schools. We assist not only with technical assistance and cost-share projects. We also give back to our community through educational/community outreach. Please find some events that the SWCD participate in listed below.

Agriculture Appreciation Breakfast: We partner with other agencies to honor our local farmers and it is a great opportunity to hear discussions about things that are important to them. 

Classroom Sponsor: The Hickman County SWCD staff and NRCS staff work together to select a classroom to go visit throughout the year and educate them about the importance of Agriculture.

Envirothon: High School students are tested over Forestry, Wildlife, Aquatics, Soils, and a Current Issue.  Winners of the competition are then eligible to attend the State RC&D competition. 

Farm Day: Teaching 3rd graders the importance of Watersheds in our Area by demonstrating the Enviroscape (a tabletop Watershed model).   And from time to time Sammy Soil makes an appearance.                 

Tree Day: The Hickman County SWCD purchases over 2,000 trees and gives back to residents in Hickman County.
