Celebrating Creativity and Conservation
“We are incredibly proud of all the participants,” said Christine, Community Connector at Firefly Bay and Basin. “The level of creativity and commitment to wildlife conservation displayed in these posters is truly inspiring. Congratulations to our winners and a big thank you to everyone who participated.”
“All the posters are fantastic, great talent, it’s hard to pick just one!” a member of WRSC said. “Thank you to all who took part; you are our future carers of wildlife. We look forward to having these on some of our fences in the near future to remind drivers to slow down and to call WRSC on 0418 427 214 if you see injured wildlife,” said Judy, WRSC Project Coordinator.
In addition to the prizes, WRSC will contact Zemene’s school to organize a special session where students can learn more about wildlife conservation directly from the experts. This unique opportunity will allow students to gain valuable insights and knowledge about the important work being done to protect our wildlife.
