Florida 4-H Forest Ecology

Florida 4-H Forest Ecology

Nature Poetry Contest

Poems are reflections of things we care about. Poetry is an opportunity to share what you observe, wonder about, or laugh over! Poems can be creative and clever. They can link together ideas in new ways. We can learn from poems, too.

Up to 20 poems (from poets of any age) may be submitted by the UF 4-H agent in each county. There is a limit of one entry per person. The FAMU coordinator may submit an additional 20 poems for FAMU 4-H’ers in each county. 

Note: We are excited to announce that submissions for the 2025 Nature Poetry Contest will now be accepted through an online submission form instead of by mail. Submissions are due by March 3, 2025.
