Launching the "Get to Know Your Wild Neighbors" Contest with an expo at Griffith Observatory

In Councilman LaBonge's ongoing effort to get people, especially young people out to enjoy nature, CD4 hosted the kickoff event for the "Get to Know" program's art and media contest. On a beautiful post-storm saturday, Councilman LaBonge and his staff organized an expo for kids and their parents at Griffith Observatory to announce the contest, which has the theme "Get to Know Your Wild Neighbors". The contest is intended to be a gateway experience for youth to connect with nature and develop a sustained and lasting interest in the outdoors and perhaps even careers in conservation. The contest is open to kids 19 and under ... now through July 16th, 2012.
