Cogongrass Control Assistance
Cogongrass is a world class weed that is invading Alabama. It covers a lot of uncultivated land. Cogongrass stops productive use in forest lands, pastures, pecan, and other orchards and impacts crops and right of way management. Cogongrass is highly flammable and presents high risks to rural homeowners and firefighters.
Aquaphonics/Hydro/Crawfish Phase I
The project is to educate the students on a alternative way of raising vegetable’s and fish. One method of the project will teach students on using solar power instead of using standard electricity. Second method will use the cat fish to fertilize the vegetables, and the vegetables will filter the water for the fish. If for any reason we are worried about bugs being a pest on the vegetables , we raise ladybugs to get rid of the pest problems.
When Phase I is up and operational, the fresh vegetables and fresh meat will benefit not only the school, but also the community. This will allow for the growth of not only the school and community, but may also provide room for further programs and projects due to the fund raisers which will be possible thanks to those assisting in the same.
Conecuh 4-H Clubhouse & Enrichment Opportunities
Our main project this year is to provide materials to our 4-H Clubhouse. In Conecuh, we
are being provided with a building by the city where we will conduct 4-H enrichment
programs and after-school clubs. This building is an amazing addition to our program.
However, the building is empty. We need tables and chairs, along with art materials,
cooking supplies, and a variety of program materials so that the building may be stocked
and ready for our 4-Hers.
● We would like to provide 4-H Leadership enrichment programs to Juniors and Seniors
across the county. Supplies are needed for curriculum, supplies, and transportation.
● We would like to offer little/no cost day camps to our youth. The day camps will consist
of programs from the curriculum grid such as S.T.E.M. (Robotics, Virtual Reality, Drones,
Ozobots), JMG, Archery, Cooking, Sewing, Art, Copper Tooling, Basket Weaving, Dog
Training, etc. We will need to purchase materials for these day camps/enrichment
programs as well as snacks for the youth and adult volunteers.
HIPPY Conecuh
HIPPY Conecuh is a home visiting program that focuses on parent-involved and parent -directed early learning. HIPPY services are offered to parents, who then work with their 2 year old-through 4 year old. HIPPY helps parents prepare their children for success in school and beyond. HIPPY supports parents as their children’s first teacher by providing them tools, skills, and confidence to teach their young children at home.
HIPPY is a 30 week program of activities, with a Parent Educator visiting the home once per week. Each week the Parent Educator will deliver and role play with the parent one curriculum packet. The curriculum has the domains, Literacy, Language, Science, and Math. All props and supplies are provided for each family. A group meeting (2 Hours) is held every six weeks that will cover an adult educational program and a program for the children. Everyone is served dinner due to the lateness of the meeting. The meetings are held at a community building outside of the Conecuh County Extension Office.
