GREENCREEK â After a year off due to COVID-19, the annual Camas Prairie Area Farm and Forestry Fair was in full swing Thursday, April 22.
Elementary school students, in mainly fifth grade, from Idaho and Lewis counties gathered at the Greencreek Community Hall and made their way through a variety of stations where they heard eight-minute presentations on a variety of subjects.
Presenters were from Idaho Department of Lands, Nez Perce Tribe Bio Control, Soil Conservation Services, Idaho Forest Group, Grain Max Theater, Idaho County Farm Bureau (dairy and wheat), Idaho/Lewis County CCA, Noyes Apiaries and Upper Clearwater Master Gardeners.
Aside from listening, students were also able to do some hands-on learning through grinding wheat (and eating pancakes), making seed balls to plant and attract bees, count log rings and milk a faux cow.
