Last Year's Winner
Missouri’s 2008 Winner Katie Lyle of Lewis and Clark Elementary in St. Peters said, “I feel honored that my poster was chosen out of entries from all across the state.”
The Conservation Department planted a tree in Katie’s honor in her community. She also received a $50 savings bond from Forest ReLeaf of Missouri, and her poster advanced to the national contest.
