This year's theme, "Trees are Terrific... and forests are too!", is bound to inspire great educational opportunities as well as lovely art work! The contest is open to K-6 graders and special education students.

By participating in the Arbor Day Poster Contest students will learn about the benefits and uses of trees in our lives and will be eligible to win an array or prizes including Savings Bonds from $50 - $100. All participating schools will receive a $50 tree coupon to purchase and plant a tree as a school Arbor Day activity and four regional winning schools will be awarded a $500 check to use as they see fit.
