On April 25 the Village of Ada demonstrated how to plant a tree and how to grow a community that is knowledgeable about and devoted to urban forestry: start with the third graders. Representatives from the Village Tree Commission met with third grade classes at Ada Exempted Village Schools to discuss and celebrate their love of trees.
The commission awarded prizes to three students for their drawings of their favorite trees. Each received a book that will help them learn more about trees.
MAY 1 MEDIA RELEASE__The West Central Ohio Land Conservancy (WCOLC) is pleased to announce the hiring of Kathryn Ware as its first Executive Director. This milestone is made possible through the award of a three year grant of $56,600 from the Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation.
By Matthew Jennings, Hardin County Community Foundation President, and Bryan Marshall, Executive Director
The community may notice a measurable increase in Hardin County Community Foundation grants awarded versus our announcement of available funds in February. After the announcement to award $227,000 in grants this spring, the Board of Trustees revisited our allocation methodology that we have used since inception of the foundation and decided to make a revision. The resulting change in available funds increased by $140,000 to $367,000.
