On behalf of the Keep Fairfield Beautiful Board and Fairfield
County 4-H, I would like to personally thank The Town of
Winnsboro, Bi-lo, Wal-mart, Sportsman’s Warehouse, Canoeing
for Kids and the Fairfield County Schools for recently supporting
the 4-H20 Environmental Camp held at the Town of Winnsboro
Reservoir. Sponsors donations of time and talents helped us to
be able to educate children on the importance of one of our most
abundant natural resources; “WATER”. You helped us to make
learning fun!!
The recent drought and high temperatures have highlighted the
need to educate everyone on ways they can conserve water. At
the 4-H20 Camp, children learned about how water is used,
tested, cleaned of impurities, and then released back into our
streams. In Clemson Extension’s watershed demonstration, the
kids also learned how each of us can take responsibility and do
our part to keep pollution and litter from ending up in our water
sources.
Fishing, canoeing, swimming, using microscopes, hiking in the
woods, and visiting the Winnsboro water and waste treatment
plants helped to make learning “fun” at the 2007 4-H20 camp.
Again, thanks for making a difference in our kids, and our world.
The kids will be “painting the drains" in Winnsboro in the near
future. By labeling the drains, they will educate people on the
importance of not putting pollutants in the roadway drains…which
lead to the reservoir.
Sincerely,
Mary Urias
