The Cumberland County Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) has announced the winners of the Soil and Water Stewardship Poster Contest. The theme for this year’s contest was “One Water” to encourage everyone to think about what a watershed is, how water runs off, how it flows and how it is used.

In the second through third grade category, Lily Dowlen from Pleasant Hill Elementary placed first with Crab Orchard Elementary student Marley Brannon placing second.
