Caring For Our Watersheds - Update

Do you know an Alberta student in grades 7 to 12? Encourage them to enter Agrium's Caring for our Watersheds environmental contest.

Students are asked to answer the questions, "What can you do to improve your local watershed?". Either individually or as a team they must research their local watershed, identify an environmental concern and come up with a realistic solution. participants submit a proposal for community judges to review and the top ten entries compete in a verbal competition to win prizes for themselves and their school or club. Classroom presentations and mentorship is provided.

There are two contests in ablerta with over $50,000 in prize money and implementation funding. First place prize in each contest is $1,000 for the team AND a $1,000 for their school/club!
