Contact: Amanda Kamps, DNR wildlife health conservation specialist Amanda.Kamps@wisconsin.gov or 608-712-5280 Calling Wisconsin Kids: Get Creative And Enter The 2021 Keep Wildlife Wild Poster Contest First place poster contest winner Mabel Dance in the fifth-grade category in 2020. / Photo Credit: Jenny Dance |

MADISON, Wis. – Calling all Wisconsin fourth, fifth and six graders: It’s time to get out your paint and colored pencils for the third annual poster contest to help the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) spread the word to Keep Wildlife Wild.
The goal of the contest 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.
“The young artists never disappoint,” said Amanda Kamps, DNR wildlife health conservation specialist and head of the Keep Wildlife Wild initiative. “The artwork and creativity we saw in the first two years of the poster contest impressed all the judges. It’s inspiring to know these future leaders understand the importance of keeping our wildlife wild.”
Each entry must be prepared according to the poster contest’s rules. Please read the requirements carefully as excellent submissions have been disqualified in the past because of missed requirements.
POSTER CONTEST RULES:
The Keep Wildlife Wild initiative 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.

Graduation Recognition 2020
Saturday, May 30, 2020 the New Lisbon Class of 2020 held their graduation parade through town. It was wonderful to see everyone come out to wave and support these young adults who have had a pretty disappointing end to their High School careers.
After the parade, the community threw a Graduation Recognition Ceremony. The idea was hatched by one of the Seniors Moms and was organized by Colette Schultz, and volunteers.
Businesses helped with donations of money, resources, and time. Rudig Jensen Ford Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram & Business Link offered up their large car tent and helped supply lunch, along with Abra Auto Body & Glass, Mill Haven Foods, and Silver Star Health, who also supplied decorated and catered for the day. It was an event that made us all so proud to be part of the New Lisbon Community.
The amazing outpouring of support from local businesses was heartwarming, especially in this time where business is so uncertain. Thank you so much to all of the businesses who supported the Seniors by donating money, resources, and time! You are making the community the great place it is! Thank you, Bank of Mauston, Black Bear Fruits, Bunker Water Jet Cutting LLC, City of New Lisbon, Christy Johnson/Amateur Event Photography, Dvorak's Tent Rental, Jared Roeker - American Family Insurance Agent, Kwik Trip Leer Inc., Lynxx 24, Midwest Dental, The Dirty Turtle, TLA Photography, and of course; Rudig Jensen, Silver Star Health, Mill Haven Foods, & Colette Schultz and family.
It was an honor for the Chamber of Commerce to be able to help make this happen. We are so proud of the Class of 2020! Congratulations!
