Each fall the Stutsman County SCD hosts the North Dakota Eco-Ed program designed to educate sixth graders from all around the county in Natural Resources. They coordinate facilitators for the following stations: Prairie, Soils, Woodlands, Wetlands, Watersheds and Water Quality, and Local History.

The Eco Ed Program in Stutsman County is a one day tour that helps students learn how their every day actions affect the environment.  Through their participation, students can learn to develop a sense of environmental stewardship and heighten awareness of environmental quality in their communities.

The event is held at Pipestem Dam north of Jamestown with facilitators provided by:
