Education Outreach
November 7 and 8 2019, 1,555 students from Monroe, Baldwin, Clark, Conecuh, Escambia, Washington and Wilcox counties attended a two-day event at Rikard’s Mill in Beatrice, Alabama. The students experienced living history demonstrations and saw how rural Alabamians lived many years ago. They observed a working gristmill, blacksmith shop, cane syrup making, candle making, a potter making vessels at his wheel and other demonstrations. The demonstrators were all dressed in period clothing and the students were able to see first-hand what pioneer life was like.
Clarke County 4-H Air Rifle & BB Program
The Clarke County 4-H Air Rifle & BB Project will be a new, One-Of-A-Kind Program for the youth ages 9-18 of Clarke County. The project will offer youth more choices for participation in the outdoors and give the youth to participate in shooting disciplines such as air rifle and bb which are not currently offered in the county. This program offers the youth the opportunity to learn safe shooting, responsible firearm ownership and to assist young people and their leaders in attaining knowledge and developing essential life skills. The program will provide an outstanding way to strengthen families through lifelong recreational activities. 4-H S.A.F.E (Shooting Awareness, Fun and Education) will also provide additional opportunities for youth to (1) be exposed to a broad array of careers and activities related to shooting sports, (2) promote the highest standards of leadership, safety, sportsmanship and ethical behavior, (3) have a better understanding of natural resource concepts and (4) enhance the development of youth participants self-concept, character and personal growth through safe education and socially-acceptable involvement in shooting activities.
