MANSFIELD – With the holidays upon us, you may be thinking about what to gift the favorite people in your life.
How about gifting experiences?
Now is the perfect time to think about next year’s Conservation Creation Arts & Crafts Workshops hosted by Richland Soil and Water Conservation District (Richland SWCD) to share with and gift to someone.
The evenings are filled with laughter, fun, learning about interesting topics related to nature and conservation, and creativity.
Richland SWCD provides the materials and tools needed to make the project.
Reservations are requested and the workshops cost $12 per person.
All participants will also receive a free pair of eclipse glasses at the January and April workshops, while supplies last.
