They went to different hands-on stations that taught them about plants, water, soil, wildlife and the great outdoors.

There were also environmental experts there to show them how they can change the world.

"Students will take away tips and ideas on how they can conserve natural resources and just be better to the planet at home and at school," said environmentalist Jill Adams.

Students also got a packet of wildflower seeds to plant at home with their families.
