The Winnebago County Land and Water Conservation Department held its "2016 Conservation Awareness Poster Contest" on December 3, 2015 that was open to kindergarten through 12th grade students. The contest’s theme this year was “We All Need Trees” which opened the door for students to gain a better understanding of why trees are important. This contest is a part of the Wisconsin Land+Water organization created to promote environmental awareness in youth.
