Continental Divide Selfie Contest

While driving around Richland County, have you noticed new green and white signs that state “Continental Divide” and has our logo at the top? The signs are part of an initiative to create more awareness of the Continental Divide and watersheds in Richland County. In the spirit of continuing to foster partnerships, the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) gave us a grant to have road signs printed showing when you enter and leave the Lake Erie and Ohio River Watersheds. Richland County Engineer Adam Gove and his staff placed the signs at designated spots along the Divide line.

To have some fun with the signs and increase awareness about the Divide and Richland County watersheds, we created a contest. All you need to do is take a selfie with your smartphone at a sign, post it to social media noting the sign location and #richlandcontinentaldivide. Don’t have a smart phone? No problem! Reach us at Contact@Richlandswcd.net.

What’s a contest without a prize?! If you follow the guidelines above, you’ll receive a free pair of eclipse glasses so you are prepared for the Total Solar Eclipse slated for April 8. One entry per person. Glasses are available while supplies last and may be picked up at our office.
