University of Illinois Extension is pleased to offer the 35th annual Stewardship Week Program! Open to youth in grades K-6, our goal is to educate students about the management of our natural land and wildlife resources, while exploring new career opportunities.

This event is held on the grounds of the Dixon Springs Agricultural Center in Pope County. We invite you and your class to participate in hands on activities and presentations from natural resource professionals. Students participating in Stewardship Week will gain a better appreciation and knowledge of what it means to be a good steward of our environment.

To provide activities that are appropriate for various age levels, the week will be structured as follows:

Wednesday, April 17 – Home School Groups

Thursday, April 18 - K through 3rd Grade

Friday, April 19 – 4th through 6th Grade

Registration deadline is April 1, 2024

If you have any questions or need help registering your class, please contact Bronwyn Aly or Lindsay Adams.
