Arbor Day poster contest

The West Virginia Division of Forestry (DOF) is calling on teachers to showcase their students’ talents in the DOF’s 2013 West Virginia Arbor Day Poster Contest. This year’s theme is “Trees Are … Energy Savers!”

The contest is open to all fourth and fifth grade public, private and home-schooled students in the Mountain State. One state winner from each grade will receive a $50 cash prize from the West Virginia Forestry Association. In addition, an awards ceremony will be held at the school of each winner and a tree will be planted in his or her honor.

Contest submissions are being accepted now through March 1.
