Forests purify the air we breathe\, filter the water we drink\, prevent erosion\, reduce flooding\, and serve as buffers against climate change. Forests also produce a variety of products used by people\, including lumber\, paper\, food\, and medicine. \nWe invite Richland County K-12 students to create a poster illustrating why forests are important\, and how we can protect and conserve forests so they will be with us always. \nEligibility\nRichland County students in grades K-12 should submit their posters to the Richland Soil and Water Conservation District for local judging by Friday\, April 12\, 2024.
