Concordia High School - "Project Adventure"
  WELL DONE Dan Stehik and the FFA of Concordia High School.
  Don Stehlik, Vocational Agriculture Instructor at Concordia High School, along with his students in FFA are providing great community leadership. His class and he, with help from an informal advisory committee consisting of Darrel Hosie, Pat Gerhartdt, Cooperative Extension Agents, Dale Strickler, CCCC's Ag. Department, Janice May, Linda Chubbuck-Johnson and Virginia Thull have overseen the project. They have pulled 127+ volunteers from the high school and resources from The Concordia High School Student Council. The National Gardening Association, Farmway Co-op, Wal-Mart, the Duclos Foundation, Clarence Mendenhall, the Marian Cook Foundation, the National 4-H Council, the Soil Conservation Service, KUFC-SHARE THE SHADE, Wildlife and Parks, the Wildlife Federation, the PATH Coalition, the City of Concordia, Zugelder Cedar Fencing, Eagle Scouting projects, and I am sure they have more coming into the project monthly. The FFA students and the PALS program (Partners in Active Learning Support) will help maintain this massive project. This project includes development, an acre nature trail, a wildlife habitat, a nut grove, a firewood grove, and an exercise station and an orchard. A truly  great addition to the TREE RESOURCES IN KANSAS!
