Students invited to take part in poster contest

    Fourth, fifth and sixth-graders are invited to participate in the third annual “Keep Wildlife Wild” poster contest sponsored by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
    Youngsters are asked to create a poster that teaches the importance of enjoying and observing wildlife in the wild and not keeping wild animals in homes or as pets.
    Each entry must contain the words: “Keep Wildlife Wild 2021” and follow the theme, “A young wild animal’s best chance for survival is with its mother.”
    All posters must be original artwork of Wisconsin native wildlife and fit on an 8-1/2-by-11-inch sheet of paper.
    Posters must be submitted individually, not by teams.
    Posters must be submitted electronically between Nov. 13 and Feb. 12, 2021.
    First, second and third-place finalists will be selected for each grade level and announced during the fourth-annual Keep Wildlife Wild Week in April.
