Show Teachers Attend Conservation Workshop The Beaver County school teachers and administrators last week participated in a conservation conser-vation workshop conducted by personnel of the Fishlake National Na-tional Forest. Educators' pre school program and classroom and field sessions were part of the program. Grant Williams, assistant forest for-est supervisor of the Fishlake National Forest, and Don Sea-' Sea-' man, forest ranger at Beaver, conducted the workshop. The indoor session included demonstrations and discussions of the different aspects of National Na-tional Forest administration and observation of various methods of teaching conservation in the schools. Most of the discussion concerned the use and care of important watershed lands. It was pointed out that the mountains moun-tains of Utah produce the bulk of the water which we must have if we continue to live here and develop our lands. The group traveled to Big John Flat in the Beaver Mountains Moun-tains where they observed firsthand first-hand the conditions and complexities com-plexities of multiple-use management man-agement practiced by the Forest Service. Conditions of the summer sum-mer deer range and of our watersheds wat-ersheds were observed. Included in the workshop were 54 Beaver County educators. |
