2022 NACD Poster ContestThe National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) hosts an annual poster contest that focuses on a different conservation topic each year. If interested, the conservation topic and poster contest are introduced to schools after the new year, and the posters are due in the spring. The posters are judged and the winners receive county recognition and their posters will be sent to the state for an additional competition. Please contact our educator if you are interested in this fun learning competition for your 4th through 9th grade students.
All posters are due to the Pickaway SWCD office by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, TBA. I am also available to pick the posters up from the main office of your school, if you'd prefer me to do this. Please reach out with questions. |
Healthy soils are the foundation for all life on Earth. Soil is an important resource for everything from human health to agriculture to water filtration. The imperative benefit of healthy soil is food production. Healthy soils also give us clean air and water, plentiful crops and forests, diverse wildlife and beautiful landscapes. It is important that each of us recognize where our food comes and the farmers and ranchers who are dedicated to using responsible land-management practices to ensure a sustainable food supply and healthy land and soil for future generations.
