Environmental Poster Contest Hosted By The Town of Oyster Bay
The WaterFront Center and Friends of the Bay have partnered with The Town of Oyster Bay to host this year’s Environmental Poster Contest open to 4th-grade students presented by Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Council Woman Michele Johnson.
“This poster contest presents a great opportunity to bring environmental awareness to our young people, making them more knowledgeable on the importance of protecting our waterways and safeguarding our natural resources,” said Supervisor Saladino.
How Plastic Pollution Harms our Waterways
Students should submit a poster to communicate awareness of how items of plastic litter harm our waterways by illustrating the problem of floatables in our waterways. Submissions should be made on large poster paper, with the top three winning posters to be displayed at a Town facility and showcased in a future Town of Oyster Bay Environmental Newsletter.
