Over 100 first-graders from Christiansburg Primary School visited campus last spring to learn about natural resources and agriculture. Their tour included a stop at Stadium Woods, where they heard about the need to sustainably manage forests as well as the goods, services, and value forests provide. The students also got a lesson on fire safety from Charlie Yopp of the Virginia Department of Forestry, accompanied by Smokey Bear.
