LUC III Envirothon - Envirothon is a problem-solving natural resource competition for high school students in the United States and Canada. Working as a team of five, students use critical thinking and problem-solving skills to arrive at solutions to certain environmental concerns in Aquatics, Forestry, Soils, Wildlife and a current environmental issue. The environmental current issue for the 2023 competition was Adapting to a Changing Climate. The local contest held for Grundy, Iroquois, Kankakee, Kendall, LaSalle, and Livingston counties was held on April 6th in Seneca. Grundy County Vocational Center won and went on to the State Envirothon at Allerton Park in Monticello, on May 3rd and 4th.
Arbor Day Tree Program - Every year for Arbor Day, we offer the schools located in Grundy County a Colorado Blue Spruce tree to give every third grader in the county. We have been offering this program for more than 25 years. Since we have been tracking trees over the last twenty years, we have given out more than 15,000 trees. For the last eight years, we have been doing this project in conjunction with support from AUX SABLE LIQUID PROJECTS. We thank them for all their support in helping to provide these trees to our youth every year.
Ag Breakfast - Will be held again in August. If you would like to speak on a topic or know someone who would, email or call to let us know!
