Calling all ‘4th Graders on the Prairie’ volunteers

We hope you will consider volunteering in the prairie this September! 4th Graders on the Prairie is an award-winning collaboration between Barrington District 220 and Citizens for Conservation. All eight elementary schools in the district participate, and many volunteers are needed. This is a wonderful opportunity to share the value of our work with future land stewards.

Contact us to volunteer at our next fourth grade prairie experience.  

So much excitement has been generated, as families and students discovered the treasures of the prairie and native plant seeds, while practicing STEAM scientific tools as citizen scientists. Thank you to all the many volunteers who help make this program happen. Hundreds of young minds are inspired each year!
