Earth Force is excited to announce our upcoming Youth Summit, scheduled for
Tuesday, May 10, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. at Marymount University in Arlington, Virginia (

This year's Youth Summit participants are entrants in the Caring for Our Watersheds contest, sponsored by Agrium, which asks students to answer the question, "What can you do to improve your watershed?" Finalists will make judged presentations at the Youth Summit to win up to $1,000! Find out more on the contest
