The Woodlands Edge Community had a great Arbor day celebration. We were a little late, and celebrated on the national day, but we had a scavenger hunt for trees, planted trees in the community park, made awesome t-shirts, and gave away free trees to the residents to take home and plant. It was really great, we had a good turnout.

What did you exactly do for the scavenger hunt for trees? it sounds interesting, always looking for new ideas. :)

We created the attached handout, then labeled trees in our park area A-K. They had to hunt to match the pictures on the handout to the tree and fill in the correct letter. It was lots of fun!

The Arbor Day program featured the Mayor, a number of talented Conway students, the Davanzo Family Band, the Conway Irish Music Players, Master Gardeners, Forestry Commission Experts, and more! Following the program, there were activities for the whole family including 3 bounce houses, music, games, face painting, balloons, hot dogs, soft drinks, an art display, educational seminars, tree adoptions, and tree plantings.
