2024 Wisconsin 'Keep Wildlife Wild' poster contest winners
MADISON, Wis. - The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced on Monday, April 1, the winners of the Keep Wildlife Wild poster contest. This year’s theme was "Safe in Their Home."
Fourth, fifth and sixth graders across Wisconsin were invited to submit posters that spread the word about keeping all wildlife healthy and, most importantly, wild.
The Keep Wildlife Wild program began in 2014 with a focus on providing information about wildlife species’ natural behaviors, tips on how to determine if a wild animal is truly orphaned and what to do if someone finds a wild animal in need of assistance.
The contest's goal is to create a poster that teaches the importance of enjoying and observing wildlife in the wild and not keeping wildlife in homes or as pets.
