2007 Arbor Day Poster Contest

Santa Barbara Beautiful was a proud local sponsor of the Arbor Day 2007 National Poster Contest for the seventh consecutive year.  This year’s theme was 

“Trees are Terrific … And Forests Too!!”

From its humble beginnings in 2000 as a pilot project, the fledgling program has become an integral component of outreach to the schools.  This year two school districts participated with a total of five elementary schools. The contest is open to all fifth graders in the USA.
 
This year’s local winners (with their families and school officials) were presented to the Mayor and City Council on Tuesday, March 6 in honor of California Arbor Day during the presentation of an Arbor Day Proclamation to Santa Barbara Beautiful for its work planting over 10,000 trees in the community.
 

Local schools participating in the 2007 Arbor Day National Poster Contest:  Adams; Cleveland; Cold Spring; Franklin; Harding.

The local winners of the national contest also competed at the State level in Sacramento.  One winning poster will represent California in the national competition held at the National Arbor Day Foundation headquarters in Nebraska. The national poster contest winner will be announced in April.
 
A tree planting and awards ceremony – featuring the poster contest winner - will be held at each school in honor of National Arbor Day.

“Trees are Terrific… And Forests Too!!”   

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