Greenville County Soil and Water Conservation District

Did you know that healthy soil is alive? Read on about why healthy soil is important!

A new idea: If we revive the tiny creatures that make dirt healthy, we can bring back the great American topsoil. But farming culture — and government — aren't making it easy.

Get out there, visit the Reedy River, and possibly win $50!

Anyone can enter. Photos must be taken in or around the Reedy River in Greenville or Launrens Counties, SC.

Contest: September 22, 2017 - November 3, 2017

The photography contest will have four categories:
1. Plants & Animals - Anything plant or animal related. Leaves, branches, fruit, a single tree, or a forest for example. Squirrels, fish, dogs, cows, or bugs for example.
2. Pollution - Anything having to do with pet waste, used auto fluids, yard waste, chemical waste (pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizer), sediment, or trash and litter, for example.
3. Recreation - Anything recreation related. Kayaking, wading, or fishing for example.
4. Falling Water - Any type of falling water. Waterfalls, dropping water, rain into the river, or stormwater outfalls for example.

One first place winner will be selected for each category. Each of these winners will receive a $50 check. A best youth(12 and under) photographer will also receive a $50 check.
