This year, 4th and 5th grade students had the opportunity to participate in a poster contest sponsored by the Wisconsin Invasive Species Council and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The goal of the Poster Contest was to increase awareness of shoreline and wetland invasive species and to teach people how to prevent the spread of invsive species in these habitats. People enjoy wetlands by canoe, while hunting, by walking from trails to shorelines, and much more. With these enjoyments comes a responsibility to protect our natural areas from invasive species.
This year, Invader Crusader Awards will be presented at Olbrich Botanical Gardens in Madison on Wednesday, June 6 at 1pm in conjunction with awards presentations to the winners of the Council’s Poster Contest for 4th and 5th Graders.
Wisconsin Tourism Secretary Stephanie Klett will be the guest speaker and will present both the Invader Crusader and Poster Contest awards.
