On the last day of April, more than 120 fourth-grade students from Middletown and Cobb participated in the Lake County Resource Conservation District’s annual “Field Day in the Creek” at Putah Creek. The event featured interactive, hands-on learning at eight stations led by state, federal, tribal and nonprofit partners, covering topics including geology, forestry, agriculture, hydrology, aquatic biology, wildlife conservation and indigenous stewardship.

Students explored local geology, observed fish sampling demonstrations by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, learned about birds, invasive plants, forest ecosystems and wildfire preparedness, and met Smokey Bear. The program, which began in the mid-1990s and is coordinated by the Lake County Resource Conservation District, aims to inspire the next generation of environmental stewards through partnerships with local organizations, Diamond D Ranch and the Middletown Unified School District.
