Natural Resource Conservation is an essential component of good environmental stewardship.  Effective conservation will involve educating the public, mainly the youth about issues related to natural resources and natural resource management.  As a two-year college offering 33 Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, DCB will design and deliver the environmental education for schoolteachers.  

"We at DCB believe that educating teachers will assist in increasing environmental awareness among their students, eventually leading to public awareness on the importance of natural resources and their conservations," said Indrani Sasmal, DCB Grant Writer.
