Caring for our Watersheds Teams up with 4-H







Are you in Grades 7 - 12? Enter Agrium's Caring for Our Watersheds (CFW) environmental contest for a chance to win cash for your ideas and cash for your 4-H Club!
 
CFW asks youth to submit a proposal that answers the question, "What can you do to improve your watershed?". Teams research their local watershed, identify an environmental concern and come up with one realistic solution.
 
Across Alberta nearly $40,000 will be awarded to students and schools or clubs who participate.
 
Club Prize - For every 10 entries win $100 cash (based on first 500 entries) and all finalists will win matching cash awards for their club. This means that if your 4-H team finishes in first place, the team wins $1000 and the club wins $1000.  Plus, there is still money to implement the idea!
 
To qualify, a club must register online at www.caringforourwatersheds.com. All club members must select their club when they enter the contest.
 
Central Alberta Contest Entry Deadline - Thursday, April 3, 2014
 
Southern Alberta Contest Entry Deadline - Tuesday, March 18, 2014
 
Free watershed presentations, mentorship and resources are available upon request.
