April is Wyoming Native Plant Month!

Once again, Governor Gordon has proclaimed that April is Wyoming Native Plant Month. We join many other states in this annual celebration to enjoy and appreciate our native flora.  Read the Proclamation here.

And, once again, the Wyoming Native Plant Society is sponsoring a poster contest for 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. This year’s theme is NATIVE PLANTS BENEFIT PEOPLE. Up to three winners will receive $250.

Entries will be judged on the following criteria:
1) Clearly illustrates how plants native to Wyoming benefit people;
2) Accurately depicts the Wyoming native plants listed on the student entry form; and
3) Creates a visually appealing and engaging composition that demonstrates creativity, a
well-composed layout, and effective use of color and technique.

The flyer with complete rules and entry form can be downloaded here.
