Four Ada residents completed a Tree Academy course and received certificate of bachelor at the Ada Depot on Wednesday.

Completing the course were (from left) Jamie Hall, Cheryl Greer, Jim Neiswander, and Rob Mix. The course is sponsored by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources division of forestry.

Fourteen local residents, mostly members of the tree commission, have now completed the course which includes information about tree care, urban forestry, local government, public relations and other topics.

A lunch preceded the graduation ceremony at the depot.
