Announcing the 2022 NACD (National Association of Conservation Districts) Poster Contest: “Healthy Soils, Healthy Life”.
​
The annual Poster Contest provides students from kindergarten through 12th grade the chance to have their art displayed as part of a national conservation outreach initiative. Each year, the winning posters reflect National Association of Conservation District’s (NACD) annual Stewardship theme, and highlight the work of conservation districts and their state conservation associations, to protect and enhance natural resources. The contest starts at the district level; winners advance to the state level, and then to the national level, where they receive recognition at NACD’s annual meeting.
Eligibility
The poster contest is open to public, private, and home-schooled students. Please share with those who may be interested. The PCCD represents Plymouth County. Check with your local districts to see if they are participating.
​
Poster entries are due by October 15 electronically. All entries must be accompanied by an entry form. See below for Microsoft document.

There is a downloadable PowerPoint about Healthy Soils being full of life at the bottom of the page.
