CHARLESTON — 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, the Urban & Community Forestry Council and the West Virginia Forestry Association.
Teachers whose classrooms will participate in the contest can use a free educational guide from WVDOF. The guide includes lesson plans, hands-on activities and contest information.
Each school may submit one entry for fourth grade and one for fifth grade. Entries must be postmarked by May 3. A state winner will be selected from the fourth grade and fifth grade poster entries.
The educational activity guide, contest rules and other information are available online at wv
for estry.com/arbor-day-in-schools. Those interested can also contact Andy Sheetz at andy.i.sheetz@wv.gov or 304-382-9574.
This year, West Virginia Arbor Day is April 9 and National Arbor Day is April 30.
