A conference for Western agricultural educators is planned from May 20-24 at the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus.
The Alaska FFA Association and the Alaska Association of Agriculture and Natural Resource Educators will host the gathering. Kevin Fochs, the director of the Alaska FFA program, said about 100 participants are expected at the regional conference for the National Association of Agricultural Educators. Participants will include agricultural and natural resource teachers and FFA advisors from 11 Western states and Alaska. The conference will include tours, workshops and business meetings.
Workshops will take place at UAF and participants will tour several locations in the Fairbanks area, including the permafrost tunnel, the University of Alaska Museum of the North, Georgeson Botanical Garden and reindeer operations, Chena Hot Springs and Arctic Sun Peonies. FFA is a youth program affiliated with the UAF Cooperative Extension Service.
