Ada earns continued Tree City USA designation
By Paula Pyzik Scott
Last week the Village of Ada Tree Commission sent third graders home with three-year-old river birch seedlings. The bagged, slime covered infant trees will grow fairly rapidly and have the potential to become 40+ foot trees with papery bark and yellow fall color.
The students participated in a program led by Jennifer Donley of the Ada Tree Commission, which gave them the opportunity to share their knowledge and interest in trees. At the same time, the children learned about how to plant and care for their river birch seedlings.
A drawing competition awarded prizes of tree books to three student artists selected by Ada’s mayor, Dave Retterer. Village Administrator Jamie Hall read the mayor's Arbor Day proclamaction to the students.
