Poster Contest Draws Attention To Georgia Nature Thursday, December 10, 2020 Teachers and students across the state are invited to celebrate wildlife and their habitats through art by participating in the 31st annual Give Wildlife a Chance Poster Contest.
The goal of this competition for grades K-5 is to generate knowledge of and appreciation for Georgia’s biological diversity. The popular initiative is sponsored by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, the State Botanical Garden of Georgia and The Environmental Resources Network, or TERN, friends group of DNR’s Wildlife Conservation Section.
The 2020-2021 theme – Nature is Everywhere! – emphasizes native wildlife and plants close to home as well as far away. Many people think nature only exists in remote wilderness areas. However, students in the country, suburbs and even cities can find a variety of wildlife right outside their door. All that is required is to slow down, perhaps even sitting in one spot, and take notice.
