We are inviting your school or youth group to take part in our exciting poster competition for our Living Waterways Project.*
This would be an ideal project for Eco Schools water topic, or for any class/ youth group wanting to do something positive for nature.
You will need to use the template provided on this page to create your posters and they must have a water wildlife theme with a positive message about stopping pollution in our becks and streams.
This could be-
- Stopping litter
- Stopping the dumping of chemicals in watercourses
- Stopping people from pouring oils and solvents down highway gullies
Your poster should also include information on the correct way to dispose of litter/ chemicals to enforce a positive message.
Please see the following webpages for further reading
