Classroom Presentations
Cindy Strickland, Resource Conservationist, developed
an outreach program to educate kindergarteners through
sixth graders about soil and water conservation through
a fun, educational display, handouts, and thought-provoking
questions.
Cindy has a gift for making the children realize that they
can make a difference by practicing conservation every
day and playing an active role in protecting the community’s
valuable resources.
Since the program started in January 2005, Cindy has
presented to more than 70,000 students. She has received
hundreds of thank-you letters from teachers and
students.

to her job as a speaker. Whenever she comes, she holds their
attention in the palms of her hands - they’re involved, ask and answer
questions, and enjoy the materials and speaker so much!"
