Each year the N.J Department of Agriculture, the N.J. Association of Conservation Districts and the Ocean County Soil Conservation District sponsor a poster contest that aims to promote a better understanding of the connection between humans and natural resources, engaging students in grades two to 12 in a fun and creative way. Youngsters in public and private schools, as well as those who are home schooled, are encouraged to enter.

The 2021 contest theme is “Healthy Forests = Healthy Communities.”
