Every year the Pope Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) hosts a poster contest in conjunction with Stewardship week giving students the opportunity to demonstrate both knowledge and creativity about various conservation topics. This year the fifth and sixth graders of Glacial Hills, Minnewaska, and BBE Elementary and 4th graders at BBE and Glacial Hills were asked to create an artistic, yet informative poster centered on this year’s theme of One Water. With over 300 entries, students presented their knowledge of soils through each creative poster.
The Pope Soil and Water Conservation District board members were impressed with all the students’ efforts. First through third place were chosen from each school as well as an overall first through third being awarded from the winners. Pope SWCD will be hanging up as many posters as possible at the Pope County fair for the public to view and learn from. The Overall Winner declined to attend Long Lake Conservation Camp but the 2nd Place Overall winner will be attending. Kaylee Martin has received a scholarship for the cost of the camp.
Pope SCWD would like to extend their congratulations to all the winners and thank you to all the students who participated this past year.
