OKEECHOBEE -- The Okeechobee Soil and Water Conservation District has announced its annual poster contest open to all Okeechobee students (public, private, or homeschooled) in grades Kindergarten through 12.
The theme for this year’s contest is “May the Forest Be With You Always."
This theme underscores the critical interplay between soil and water conservation and the resilience of our forests. Forests play multifaceted roles in sustaining our planet, serving as sources of oxygen, carbon storage, and vibrant hubs of biodiversity. They function as steadfast protectors of soil and water resources, preventing erosion, purifying contaminants, and nurturing healthy watersheds.
The entry deadline is Thursday, Feb. 29 at 4 p.m. and posters are to be delivered to the USDA Service Center located at 452 US Highway 98 North. Cash prizes are $50 for first, $35 for second, and $20 for third place in each age/grade category.
