Twenty eight local youth learned how they can live green. The three day 4-H Eco-Ventures Event helped them recognized the importance of protecting the environment, conserving resources and recycling. Youth hiked around Montpelier exploring the forest and learning about trees and wildlife. They also travel down the watershed to Lake Anna for some up close water explorations. The final day had them traveling up the trash mountain at the OrangeCounty Landfill for a behind the scenes tour. They also got to 
practice their recycling skills first hand. Participants competed to win a spot of the local radio station with a eco themed public service announcement. Youth who participated left with a recycling box and a family conservation plan.
