GILLESPIE COUNTY SOIL & WATER
CONSERVATION DISTRICT #220
Gillespie County, Texas

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.
