Sixth grade students from Jackson Middle School in Clarke County recently participated in the annual Forestry Awareness (FAWN) program conducted at the Lower Wildlife Sanctuary near Jackson last Thursday. The program is hosted by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and teaches children the importance of good land, wildlife and forest management.
The students visited a number of stations where volunteers from various forest and wildlife management industries explained the different aspects of good land management.
