Endangered Species Day is a celebration of our nation’s wildlife and wild places.

The art contest is an integral part of the fifth annual national Endangered Species Day, celebrated on and around May 21, 2010.
Schools, scout troops and other educational institutions are encouraged to learn about our nation’s wildlife, birds, fish and plants on the brink of extinction. For more information and for lesson places and other educational materials, visit www.EndangeredSpeciesDay.org
