| Impact Report | Earth Day: Midway Elementary in Lemitar, NM hosted an Earth Day event at their school where they invited the Socorro County Extension Office, Bosque Del Apache and a Geologist to their school to discuss topics related to Earth Day. The Socorro County Extension Agents discussed how plants affect the earth. We discussed what plants need to live such as soil, water, sun and carbon dioxide. We discussed how plants help us by producing oxygen that we need to breathe and we produce carbon dioxide that plants need to breathe. Each child was allowed to make a dirt baby to take home and care for.
