Cara Ann Robinson Named Agriscience Student Award Winner

STATE WINNER: Cara Ann Robinson, Manawa

With Cara’s project on Phytoremediation, she tested and proved that planting trees, shrubs or grasses on a water’s edge can improve the water quality of a stream over time. Cara based her project off the problem that nitrates and phosphates are being washed away into our lakes and streams. Through this experience, Cara has had the opportunity to educate many community members on this national environmental issue. Cara plans to attend Northland College and major in Environmental Science with a minor in Environmental Education.

AWARD SPONSOR: University of Wisconsin-River Falls Agricultural Education Society & Alpha-Tau-Alpha, and the Wisconsin FFA Foundation
