New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Art Brown, Jr., presented the 2000 Conservation Education Essay and Poster Contest awards recently in Trenton. This year's theme was "Keeping My Watershed Clean and Healthy." A certificate of merit and a savings bond was presented to the first, second and third place winners in each of the three grade level categories of the essay and poster contests. The annual contests are sponsored by the NJDA's State Soil Conservation Committee, the New Jersey Association of Conservation Districts; the Natural Resources Conservation Service, USDA and the Rutgers Cooperative Extension.
