Two weeks left to enter the Rangelands Living Skin Artwork competition!

The Rangeland Living Skin project is a collaboration between scientists, farming families and other stakeholders to demonstrate improved productivity in the NSW rangelands. The project will focus on soil, plants, animals and people as the living skin of the rangelands.

Open to all Western LLS Region primary school students, the Rangeland Living Skin artwork competition allows students to design a logo that shows how important our soil is for our plants, animals and communities. There are amazing prizes to be one, including a soil kit for each winner’s school.

Don’t wait to get your entry in! For more information, including how you can enter, closing dates and the prizes to be won, go to: soilsforlife.org.au/rangeland-artwork
