Delaware Forest Service
Annual Arbor Day Poster Contest and
Free Seedling Program
Theme: “Trees are Terrific … In Many Wonderful Ways!”
Poster Contest open to all K-5th grade youth
Annually, over 3,000 K-5 students in Delaware participate in this program all while learning the many, amazing benefits of trees. We hope this program can be a way to incorporate nature into your curriculum and serve as a therapeutic activity. The registration page includes an opportunity to give your thoughts on how to improve participation in this program. We hope to offer seedlings this year which depends on a group of senior citizen volunteers to prepare and “wrap.” We may have to get creative on how we supply the seedlings to you this year.
