Kids for Conservation
About The Program
Sponsored by Dominion Energy
Southeastern Wildlife Exposition invites all Tri-County students, grades 1st through 12th to participate in the Kids for Conservation arts competition. KFC has been a great source of pride for SEWE for over twenty years and we are pleased to continue this excellent program in the Lowcountry.
SEWE is working diligently to promote Kids for Conservation in the Tri-County area & across South Carolina to engage all students in the importance of conservation. It is our hope that students who invest in conservation efforts as youth will continue to protect our wildlife and environment as adults.
Congratulations to our 2024-2025 winners!
