Jackson Newspapers
West Virginia fourth and fifth grade students can showcase their artistic talents by creating posters for the 2021 Arbor Day contest. The poster contest theme is “Trees are Terrific.and Growing.”
The West Virginia 2021 poster contest is presented by the West Virginia Division of Forestry (WVDOF), the Urban & Community Forestry Council and the West Virginia Forestry Association.
Teachers whose classrooms will participate in the contest can utilize a free educational guide from WVDOF. The guide includes in-depth lesson plans, hands-on activities and contest information.
“The guide will teach students about the subject before they create their posters,” state contest coordinator and WVDOF partnership coordinator Andy Sheetz said. “Through this contest, students have the opportunity to learn how trees grow and develop an appreciation of what trees provide us.”
