2011-2012 Conservation Poster & Essay Contests

Over 130 students in Gillespie County entered the annual poster and essay contests, which closed January 20, 2012.  Three poster winners and three essay winners were selected for 2012.  The local awards dinner sponsored by the Fredericksburg Lions Club will be on Wednesday March 30.  Student winners and their teachers will be notified in early February 2012, and the winners’ names will be posted here as soon as possible.  

The ESSAY theme for 2011-2012 was “Why Soil and Water Conservation is Important to My Future”.  

 

The POSTER contest had a choice of one of two possible conservation themes. Choces were:

     “Soil to Spoon”, which covers where our food comes from and the connection to soil and conservation on the land.

     “Forests for People – More than You Can Imagine”, this covers trees & the role they play in our environment.

 

Prizes - Security State Bank and Trust will donate Savings Bond Certificates for poster and essay winners.  Either the Lower Colorado River Authority or the Gillespie County SWCD will award wood plaques to each of the six winners.
