Game and Fish Sponsors Earth Day Project
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is celebrating Earth Day by sponsoring a youth clean-up day on public-owned or managed lands in April and May.
“If your school, Girl Scout, Boy Scout, 4-H club or any youth organization participates in cleaning up public lands during April and May, each participant will receive a specifically designed conservation patch,” said Nathaniel Umphrey, Game and Fish Department outreach biologist.
Groups taking part in clean-up activities should take the following precautions to ensure safety: keep young people away from highways, lakes and rivers; and only allow older participants to pick up broken glass.
“We hope these projects help build an understanding of wildlife habitats, and how human activities can negatively impact those habitats with pollution,” Umphrey said.
Interested participants are asked to call Bill Jensen (328-6637)
or Nathaniel Umphrey (328-6332) to receive a reporting form for their
project.
