Dorset Wildlife Trust, Schools Art Competition
Dorset Wildlife Trust (DWT) and SI Poole joined forces to run a Schools Art Competition for Keystages One and Two children in Poole. The competition challenged children to produce a piece of art about Poole Harbour and over 120 entries were received from schools across the borough.
On 26 November 2008, Amanda Cooke, DWT’s Education Officer, and Penny Bartlett, President of SI Poole, were delighted to present prizes to the winning entrants at the DWT Urban Wildlife Centre in Corfe Mullen near Wimborne.
The winning artwork was on display at the Centre and the children were praised for their creativity - winning entries included collages, paintings and pen drawings. A special prize was awarded by Sara Welton, DWT Trustee and Poole Harbour Commissioner, for the best marine life entry to highlight the Harbour’s diverse fauna.
