    More than 180 seventh grade students from Heritage Middle School experienced science through a hands-on field trip at the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area within the Idaho National Guard’s Orchard Combat Training Center April 28-29. The Idaho National Guard partnered with Boise State University, University of Idaho, the Idaho Rangeland Resources Commission and Idaho’s Bureau of Land Management to bring science education to Treasure Valley students through its Adopt a Scientist program. Additionally, the program brings a greater understanding of the Idaho National Guard’s environmental stewardship and increases connectivity between students and Idaho researchers with field trips throughout the year at the OCTC. The NCA is home to the largest and most diverse population of breeding raptors in North America and one of the only places where military training, extensive research, public land use and livestock share the same land. Biologists from the Idaho Army National Guard Environmental Management Office have helped manage military training and conduct research used to protect the environment and limit land disturbance since 1987.
