>   Plan Now To Attend Touch The Land
>
>
>   If you're an Iowa high school student interested
> in the outdoors and the
> environment, plan now to attend Touch the Land, a
> portion of the Iowa 4-H
> Youth Conference.  Touch the Land will be held in
> combination with the Iowa
> 4-H Youth Conference, June 24 and 26, at Iowa State
> University in Ames.  You
> do not need to be in 4-H to attend the conference.
>
>
>
>   Those attending Touch the Land will be involved in
> hands-on activities
> that develop skills so Iowa youths discover ways to
> explore and shape their
> environment for the benefit of both. This year
> agricultural practices
> affecting wildlife and stream life will be explored
> through mini workshops
> and travel experiences.  Youth will attend workshops
> designed to build
> awareness of ecosystem processes, observation skills
> and techniques used for
> collecting data
>
>
>
>   During the two days of fun and learning Touch the
> Land participants will
> have many chances to interact with others at the
> Iowa 4-H Youth Conference
> during meals and evening activities.  Delegates to
> both events will stay
> together in ISU residence halls.
>
>
>
>   The cost of the Iowa 4-H Conference is $ 100.00.
> Contact your county
> extension office to see if scholarships are
> available for this program.  If
> you're interested in attending Touch the Land at the
> 2003 Iowa 4-H Youth
> Conference, contact your ISU Extension county
> office, or our office at (515)
