2008-2009 Conservation Message Award Winners

When students send their artwork in they are asked to write a short message explaining what they have learned about conservation efforts, or why conservation is important to them. This year we have awarded 12 students with the Conservation Message Award which includes a $50.00 gift certificate. These students' conservation message really hit a nerve and encompassed the motto of this program, Conservation Through The Arts. We could not be able to offer such an award without the help of the SCWLEOA (SC Wildlife Law Enforcement Officers Association Inc.
