Santa Barbara Beautiful

2006 Arbor Day Poster Contest

Santa Barbara Beautiful was a proud local sponsor of the Arbor Day 2006 National Poster Contest for the sixth consecutive year. This year’s theme was

“Trees are Terrific … In all Shapes and Sizes!”

From its humble beginnings in 2000 as a pilot project, the fledgling program has taken off and soared this year to include three school districts for a total of seven elementary schools and the Arts Alive! Creativity Center. The contest is open to all fifth graders in the USA.

This year’s local winners were presented to the Mayor and City Council on Tuesday March 7 (California Arbor Day) during the presentation of an Arbor Day Proclamation to Santa Barbara Beautiful for its work planting trees in the community.

Local Participants: Adams; Cleveland; Cold Spring; Franklin; Harding; Hope; Monte Vista schools, and Arts Alive! Creativity Center.

These local winners of the national contest will now compete at the State level. One winning poster will represent California in the national competition held at the headquarters of the National Arbor Day Foundation in Nebraska. The national poster contest winner will be announced in April.

A tree planting and awards ceremony will be held at each school in honor of National Arbor Day.

“Trees are Terrific… in All Shapes and Sizes!”

Santa Barbara Beautiful would like to thank the school principals and their contest coordinators for supporting this wonderful project.
