Bladen Soil and Water Conservation District proudly announces the winners in the 2016 Poster, Essay, Public Speaking, Computer Generated Slide Show, and Computer Generated Poster contests for Bladen County Academy, Primary, Elementary, Middle school, and High School students.  This year’s theme is “We All Live in a Watershed.”

First and Second place District winning entries are awarded cash prizes, and First place entries advance  to the Area VI I competition, which consists of 9 Conservation Districts throughout Southeastern North Carolina.  Area winners advance to State level competition.

The District is happy to have had so many students participate this year in our contests, and wants to express their gratitude to the local teachers who made time in their busy schedules to fit in these competitions. The Soil and Water Conservation District believes that teaching children the importance of conserving our natural resources at an early age will benefit everyone in the future. Congratulations to the winners and good luck to the Area VII competitors!
