Cascadia Conservation District is pleased to announce our
6th annual Earth Day Essay Contest!
The essay contest is open to
students who live or attend school in Chelan or Douglas counties and who are in
grades 6th-8th.
This year, the essay question is:
Describe an experience you have had in nature, and how you connected
with that experience personally. How does that make you want to be more
environmentally responsible?
As students begin to think about this question, please
encourage them to consider their connection to nature and their local
environment. This activity is meant to encourage stewardship and integrate
creative thought and writing with science.
The top three essays will get hand painted field journals
created by local artist Heather A. Wallis Murphy and a student membership to
the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center!
Here are the particulars:
•The essays should be 500 words or less, size 12 Times New
Roman font, and double-spaced.
• Typed essays are preferred, but hand written essays will
be accepted provided they are legible.
• Word count should be included in the bottom, right corner
of the essay.
• Essays must be turned in with completed entry form that can be found here.
