LAKEPORT, Calif. — Schoolchildren from around the community once again had the chance to see up close the working of Lake County’s agriculture industry.

On Wednesday, May 7, the sixth annual Lake County Ag & Natural Resources Day was held at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Lakeport.

Since its inception in 2017, this unique educational event has welcomed K–6 grade students from across Lake County, offering them a hands-on opportunity to learn about the importance of agriculture and natural resources in our community.

This year, organizers said they hosted more than 600 students, along with their teachers and chaperones, for a day of discovery and interactive learning.

The goal of Ag & Natural Resources Day is to provide engaging, hands-on educational experiences for local students, highlighting the importance of agriculture and natural resources, as well as the science and technology driving these industries in our community.

Organizers said they aim to inspire curiosity and awareness, planting the seeds for the next generation of agriculture and natural resource enthusiasts.

This event is the result of a strong collaborative effort among the Lake County Fair Foundation, the Lake County Farm Bureau, the Lake County 4-H Program and the Lake County Fairgrounds.

Thanks is offered to the 2025 sponsors for their generous support. They are Redwood Credit Union, Reynolds Systems Inc., American AgCredit and Adventist Health. Organizers said their contributions make this impactful event possible.
