National Poster Contest winners announced

Each year the Lower Elkhorn Natural Resources District (LENRD) sponsors a Conservation Poster Contest to engage students in learning more about our precious natural resources and how we can protect the environment we live in. The 2020 theme was “Where would we BEE without pollinators?” The winning posters from the LENRD are sent on to the State contest in Lincoln. The winning State posters are then forwarded on to the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) for the National Competition. Nebraska had a winner in the NACD National Poster Contest this week! Congratulations to Emerson Ortmeier, from Guardian Angels Central Catholic in West Point, who won first place in the 7-9 grade category!

Great job Emerson! Way to represent Nebraska!
