The Educational Extension Section of the Illinois State Geological
Survey reaches the public through a number of channels, including
nontechnical publications, rock and mineral collections for Illinois
schools and educational groups, lectures, exhibits, correspondence
involving identification of rocks and minerals, news items for the
press, and field trips.
During each year six field trips are given, in widely separated parts of
the state, for teachers, students, and laymen. The general program is
especially designed to assist in teaching geological sciences and to
help make Illinois citizens aware of the state’s great mineral wealth.
