2014 Student Poetry Contest
As part of Wetlands Week, the CPRA and 4-H Youth Wetlands Program sponsored a poetry contest for students. This year’s theme was: “Louisiana’s Coast: What does it mean to you?”
Thank you to the more than 400 students from around the state who took the time to craft wonderful, heartfelt poems, and congratulations to this year’s winners. Winning poems will be featured in the FY2016 Annual Plan, which will be published in early 2015.
