LINCOLN COUNTY – Students and educators from Lincoln County schools recently participated in the Annual Conservation Poster Contest, hosted by the Lincoln County Conservation Program.
The Conservation Contest encourages students to submit posters that illustrate the conservation theme of the year. For 2026, the Conservation Contest theme is “Soil, Where It All Begins.”
“Soil, Where It All Begins” highlights the essential role soil plays in sustaining life and maintaining a healthy environment and economy. From helping crops grow in local fields to filtering water and providing nutrients for plants, soil is the foundation of Wisconsin’s natural resources. By understanding and caring for our soil, we can help ensure a productive environment that benefits our communities and preserves our natural resources.
The Conservation contest is an excellent opportunity for students to expand their appreciation for the environment and learn about conserving those resources for generations to come. Educators that have been involved with the contest have enjoyed the opportunity to promote conservation within the classroom.
The Conservation Contest has several stages of competitions, and winners from each stage advance to the next. The contest begins at the local level (Lincoln County) and then proceeds to an Area Contest, which includes nine counties, a State contest and even a national contest.
Grades K-1 category winners include Logan Fishbeck, Finley Koppa, and Logan Winter. These students won first, second and third places respectively. All students are in Mrs. Walters’ class at Tomahawk Elementary.
