🌱⛳️ STEM on the Course — First Green Event!
Today, 135 Litchfield Elementary 4th graders brought their learning outdoors for the First Green experience at the Litchfield Golf Course! Students explored hands-on STEM stations covering turf science, water conservation, soil health, and wildlife — discovering how science connects to the game of golf.
A huge thank-you to the incredible volunteers from the Minnesota Golf Course Superintendents Association, Meeker County Master Gardeners, UMN Extension Educators & Ag Ambassadors, the Meeker County Soil & Water Conservation District, and the MN DNR for leading the learning stations.
This event was proudly co-sponsored by the Meeker County Farm Bureau, AgCentric, Litchfield Golf, and the Minnesota Golf Course Superintendents' Association.
Learning, teamwork, and science were all in full swing today! 🌾🔬🏌️♀️
