The Natural Resources Conservation Workshop (NRCW) is available to Georgia’s Rising 10th, 11th, and 12th graders. This workshop focuses on the value, protection, and conservation of Georgia’s wildlife, forestry, soil, and water resources, including conservation in Georgia’s mining industry. The workshop gives students a taste of college life while delivering valuable insight into careers through their counselors and instructors. The 2024 NRCW will take place June 9-14, 2024 on the campus of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton, Georgia. The Workshop features field trips, classroom instruction, and recreational activities. Students scoring well on the Workshop exam may be awarded a college scholarship.
