Conservation Learning Center

After years of creative design and hard work, we're pleased to announce the presentation of the Conservation Learning Center, a hands-on, interactive, mobile education center. With the Conservation Learning Center, we are able to bring hands-on learning to a larger group setting. This trailer is great for use on school career days and community events, when time for a full lesson is unavailable or there are a high volume of participants. Our trailer can be set up with a soil focus or with a water focus.

County Departments Partner to Engage Youth in Summer Programming

August 23, 2021

Henderson County has over 35 departments designated to perform specific tasks to ensure smooth operations throughout the County. Each department functions independently and provides excellent service. However, when these departments collaborate, services can be enhanced and improved for County citizens. With the common goal of providing educational summer enrichment for students after an educational year unlike any other, multiple departments combined their efforts to provide quality programming this summer.
