Ohoopee River Soil and Water Conservation District Now Accepting Entries for Poster Contest

The Ohoopee River Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD), a local agency dedicated to the conservation and stewardship of the area’s natural resources, is now accepting entries for their Poster Contest for students located within the District’s service area. The service area includes Emanuel, Montgomery, Toombs, Treutlen and Wheeler Counties.

Education is a critical element of the conservation effort at the local, state and national levels. Educating young people about the benefits of conservation helps to ensure the next generation will be wise stewards of America’s natural resources.

The annual Poster Contest provides public, private and homeschooled students in Kindergarten thru 12th grades the chance to have their art selected to advance on to the state contest. Prizes will be awarded for the top three winners in each age category.

Each year, the poster topic reflects National Association of Conservation District’s annual Stewardship theme and highlights the work of Conservation Districts to protect and enhance natural resources. This year’s theme is “Soil. Where it all begins” andhighlights the essential role of both natural and managed habitats in our conservation efforts. The deadline to enter the contest is March 27, 2026.
