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.

Students at Ohio Northern University Preschool are getting ready for Christmas. They've worked on several art projects including this one involving Santa.
While some people may look forward to snow covered trees and lawns, many of us dread icy sidewalks once the temperatures sink lower and lower.
Ada Codified Ordinance 521.06 does require walks to be kept free from snow and ice, by either the owner or the occupant of the property.
Many people start applying rock salt at the first sign of precipitation and cold temperatures. Rock salt, which is primarily sodium chloride, tends to be on the less expensive side of deicers.
However, rock salt can harm pets, plants, grass, and trees. Rock salt can also cause the sidewalks to begin breaking down, depending on the composition of the concrete used during construction.
