Each year, over 1,500 Massachusetts fifth graders participate in the Arbor Day Poster Contest. The winners reap rewards including art supplies, ice cream, and a tree for their school. Each year there is a theme such as, “Trees are Terrific and Good for Our Health!” (2014) or “Celebrate a Tree” (2012) selected to encourage students to think about trees in new ways.
The theme for 2015, “Trees Are Champions in My Community!,” will inspire students to think about the important roles trees play in their community. However they wish to interpret the theme, we hope students enjoy this fun and valuable learning opportunity. Download – Poster Contest Rules and Information Packet
