Friends of the River San Bernard Ranger program was held on Thursday, April 18 at Sweeny Elementary in Sweeny, Texas. The educational program was presented to 121 fifth grade science students of teachers Garland Johnson and Camille Johse.
Facts presented about the San Bernard River Watershed helped students become aware of its environmental concerns. Points-of-interest along the river were identified on a map. A packet containing a FOR watershed booklet and additional river information was given to each student to take with them.
FOR Ranger committee members presenting this program were Adalia and Valroy Maudlin, Mike Goodson, Bob Bailey, Ken and Linda Wright.
