Ag group publishes Kansas natural resources guide
|
HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) - An agriculture education group has
released a 200-page guide to natural resources in Kansas.
The Kansas Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom hopes
that the guide will help teachers discover there is a diversity of
Kansas resources worth teaching. The group says everything from the
tallgrass prairie and wetlands to a huge aquifer are in Kansas.
The idea for the guide was developed after a rural Kansas
teacher remarked that she didn't teach her students about natural
resources in Kansas because they aren't interesting. Other teachers
say they mostly covered oceans and rainforests in their classes.
Foundation member Mary Anne Stoskopf said agricultural uses --
cropland, grasslands and forests -- account for more than 90
percent of the state's land area. |
