by Richland Co. Soil/Water Conservation
deadline: Friday, April 11
K5-12th grade — FREE

Note: This is not a Cola City activity. But, we are eligible as a school in Richland County, if you want to participate.

Richland County students are invited to design a habitat awareness poster highlighting the diversity and importance of natural and managed habitats. Each poster must include the words “Home is Where the Habitat is” in the poster design.

Posters submitted by Friday, April 11, 2025 will be eligible for prizes at the local, state, and national levels.

A habitat is the unique environment where an organism lives, from tiny rock pools to vast forests. The 2025 Stewardship theme, “Home is Where the Habitat is,” highlights the role of both natural and managed habitats in our conservation efforts. When we take care of the habitats where animals and plants live, we are promising them a safe home to grow and live happily. This keeps everything in nature working well together, like a big team where everyone has an important job. When the team works well, our planet stays healthy and beautiful.
