The Problem
18-03-2p Applying 4H and Scout Knowledge for the Community is a Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Nebraska Environmental Trust project where students of 4H and any after school program can do their badges or state exhibits with plants to grow food for the shelters in the area. In this project students will manage raised beds testing water and soil conditions as the plants grow. Climate data is also collected at the site. Students from Sarpy and Douglas counties in Nebraska are invited to work with Explorers 4H and Aquatic Society of Omaha INC on the Special Garden Project growing Okra for their exhibit plus for a local shelter.
