This year’s theme is “Oak Trees: Superheroes of the Forest.”
INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana schools are encouraged to have their fifth-grade students participate in an Arbor Day poster contest.
The Indiana DNR puts on a contest each year to help students learn more about the important role of trees in the state’s urban and forest communities.
This year’s theme is “Oak Trees: Superheroes of the Forest.”
All Indiana schools and homeschooling families/co-ops are eligible to participate by submitting their poster to the statewide contest by March 1. One poster will be accepted per school. Entries must be scanned and sent to urbanforestry@dnr.IN.gov.
The student who creates the winning poster will receive a gift card, a book that will help continue their exploration of trees, and an Indiana native tree planting at their school.
The winning student’s teacher will receive a kit of educational materials to support their class’s further engagement with Indiana trees, forests, and forestry, as well as a full scholarship to the Natural Resources Teacher Institute. Entries may also be featured on DNR social media.
