The 2022 Poster Contest theme is “Healthy Soil:
Healthy Life"
Pollinators form the foundations of a healthy and sustainable future for food and the environment, but in recent years, they have shown concerning signs of decline. It’s important that we work to help them prosper by enhancing native pollinator habitats and protecting against pollinator declines.
Contact the Douglas County Conservation District to help you care for your Pollinators.
