Youth Workshop
Pickens Conservation District annually sponsors youth to attend a conservation workshop in environmental education. This program exposes young people to careers in conservation, and as a true environmental study course, offers college scholarships and college credit to those passing the comprehensive final exam. Since its inception, over 3,000 students have participated in this program, winning over $70,000 in scholarships. The program is held on the Lander University campus in Greenwood. Registration deadlines are usually in April for that year's June workshop.
