Howell girl wins contest
for endangered species
Marisa Bunis of Land O’Pines School in Howell was among the winners honored by the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey for an award-winning poster and essay on the state’s endangered and threatened species. The award ceremony took place at Drumthwacket, New Jersey’s official governor’s residence, in Princeton, on May 7.
Bunis was the winner chosen from Monmouth County in a statewide contest for fifth-graders sponsored by the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey. The contest drew more than 1,300 entries from more than 100 schools throughout the state. The contestants were asked to draw a picture of one of New Jersey’s 73 endangered and threatened species and compose an essay about how the animal became endangered and what we can do to help protect it. Bunis chose the Appalachian Grizzled Skipper. Her artwork and essay will be on display at the May 7 event and then will become part of a 16-month calendar published by the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey.
