The goal of GARNA’s Public Lands Agency Career Exploration (PLACE) program is to expose greater Arkansas River region high school students to career paths within the natural resource agencies that partner with GARNA. This includes Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the US Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. Participating students spend roughly full days shadowing agency staff and are exposed to field experiences, special projects and meetings.
On Saturday, May 21, PLACE students will participate in the 25th annual Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area Clean Up Green Up.
Many GARNA programs require a Liability Release Form be filled out each calendar year.
