<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, CNHP gave a new Special Award at the fair- the Natural Heritage Conservation Award.&nbsp; This award recognizes the student with the best poster about the conservation of Colorado\u2019s Natural Heritage.&nbsp; We awarded the prize to Madison Miller, who is in 8<sup>th<\/sup> grade at Monte Vista Middle School, for her poster called \u201cFowl Play: How Different Types of Recreational \u201cPlay\u201d affects the Flush Response of Waterfowl.\u201d&nbsp;
