Impact Report Thirteen 4-H Members, Leaders and Extension Agents gave presentations at the Mesa Verde Ranch Days on April 28-29, 2009. Over 565 youth from Alamogordo, High Rolls, Tularosa, Cloudcroft and La Luz attended this educational extravaganza. The 4-H station at Mesa Verde Ranch Days presented a program in the form of three stations called, Gardening & Horticulture, Embryology- Egg 2 Chick and Wildlife. Youth gained skills in the area of hand washing, judging fruits and vegetables, learning how to plant seeds, the development stage of poultry embryos, investigating science through being outdoors in NM with wildlife. These youth also learned about many elements in life science such as plant development, recording data with turning eggs and the habitats of wildlife in NM. Many youth remarked they appreciated from the “Hands On Learning.” Many teachers said this was one of the best stations because the program was made for the 4th graders and about science topics they talk about in their science and social studies classes.
