Learn more about different types of habitats. Why are\nhabitats important? How does conserving habitats support\nbiodiversity and maintain ecological balance?\n2. Create a design that illustrates the importance of habitats. Include the words “Home is Where the Habitat is” in the poster design. The recommended paper size\nis 11″ x 17″. Posters in any size 8.5″ x 11″ or larger are\naccepted. Use markers\, crayons\, colored pencils\, paint\, or\nother flat media to make it colorful!\n3. Attach a completed entry form to the back of your poster. Submit your poster to the Richland Soil and Water Conservation District by Friday\, April 11\, 2025.
