Soil and Water Stewardship Week is a national event at the end of April each  year. The Popo Agie Conservation District offers students the opportunity to  participate by hosting a poster contest. The National Association of Conservation Districts picks a theme each year and students use their artistic abilities to create posters to  convey the theme message.  Winners receive cash prizes.  

This year's theme of "One Water" taught the students how every living thing is connected by water.  Wyoming is a headwater state and Lander gets the water first.  Our water comes directly from precipitation that falls over our mountains.  It then travels thousands of miles and ends up in the Gulf of Mexico.   We all share water so what we do with our water affects a lot of people.
