Each year, the Conservation Commission organizes a poster contest for students in grades K-12 to promote awareness of our natural resources. Past contests have encouraged students to illustrate their impressions of the woodlands and waterways of the town, and this year’s theme honors traditional and sustainable uses of the land:  “Farms, Fishing, and Foraging: Locally Sourced Food in Wells.” We are very lucky to have a thriving lobster industry, bountiful farms, and even fiddleheads, berries, and other natural treasures for those adventurous enough to look.

The Poster Contest Awards Ceremony will be held at Wells Elementary School, at 7:00 on May 28th.
