Resource Conservation Workshop

The Resource Conservation Workshop is a week of intensive study requiring student attention and participation in a wide range of conservation topics. Students are housed in NCSU campus dormitories under the guidance of Live-in counselors. In order to achieve success, students should come prepared to apply themselves to meet the primary objective of this workshop - learning about natural resources and their management in today's environment. Awards are won and presented to students under several awards programs.

The District sponsors one student from applications of rising sophomores, juniors and seniors who have demonstrated an interest in natural resource conservation. Students may participate only one time in this workshop.

Contact the District for an application and more information. Application deadline is April 1.

RCW Scholarship Recipient: Cameron Phipps 

Cameron Phipps, a rising junior at Cape Fear High School was the recipient of the District's 2011 Resource Conservation Workshop Scholarship.

Cameron traveled to the state capital to join other North Carolina high school students the week of June 26 - July 1, 2011 at NC State University to learn about environmental conservation and careers. The program exposes students to careers in natural resource management and the opportunities available at colleges like NCSU. During the week the group toured a water treatment plant, visited an educational forest, saw some of the university's conservation projects and met representatives from natural resource management agencies.
