Roper Mountain science programs include agriculture
By Peter Kent
Through a partnership with the Roper Mountain science educators, Clemson Extension agents are providing Greenville-area students with programs on the environment and ecology. Other partners include Master Gardeners, the Piedmont Beekeepers Association and the Greenville Forestry and Wildlife Society.
“Our work with Roper Mountain is part of our mission to educate the public and students about the role the life sciences and agriculture play in our lives everyday,” said Danny Howard, Greenville Extension agent.
Part of the Greenville school system, the Roper Mountain center serves five or six classes daily. “The involvement and advice Clemson Extension and the other groups provide help make the programs effective and memorable,” said Tim Taylor, science curator.
