Environmental Education

The Bremer County Conservation Board began its Environmental Education (EE) program in 1988 to provide EE and outdoor recreation programming for the citizens of Bremer County. The EE program strives to provide educational opportunities for all ages on a variety of topics.  In 2010, 759 programs were presented for 12,904 participants.  This is the highest program/participant numbers in 10 years.

The Bremer County Naturalist develops programs mostly for school groups, but these are easily adaptable for youth groups and the general public. Topics include animals, plants, survival, habitats, geology, the water cycle, weather and the solar system. Some activities use hands-on learning. These include fishing, canoeing, compasses, water testing and Nature Mapping. Most of these programs are offered free to Bremer County citizens.  For more information on these programs, contact the naturalist at
