EDUCATION

“IERCD promotes the understanding that the quality of the environment determines the quality of life by educating the district's youth about the importance of conservation…”

TeamMISSION

Welcome to the IERCD Education Page! Our intention is to reach out to a diverse group of students and facilitate learning of natural resources which will in turn create an awareness, lead to mindfulness, and create positive actions that will last life-long. We will provide strong education programs that will encourage today’s youth to accept the responsibility of conserving our natural resources for tomorrow’s generations.
