Here's what we were up to in October: 

​

We hosted a children's program at the Lexington Main Library about keeping one-use items out of our landfills by upcycling them into crowns and scrapbooks. At our Batesburg-Leesville library program, children learned about some of the most commonly seen mammals in Lexington County and were able to make their own animal masks. Our District Manager and Education Program Assistant held after school programs at Gilbert, Pelion, Forts Ponds and Saxe Gotha elementary schools using the Farm Bureau Ag in the Classroom books: My Family's Corn Farm and The Great Pumpkin Smash. They also helped out with Farm Bureau's Ag in the Classroom Mobile Learning Lab at Seven Oaks and Forts Pond elementary schools. Our entire staff volunteered at the week long Wood Magic Forest Fair hosted at Harbison State Forest and ee also partnered with Clemson Extension to host the first workshop in a four part series about the basics of farming and how to get started. The next three workshops will take place over the next few months. ​
