Scotland Soil & Water Conservation officials Amy Richburg and Martha Norfleet recently celebrated Arbor Day with fourth grade classes at various county elementary schools. Offcials provided Loblolly pine seedlings for the children to plant at their respective schools. Nine schools, including 27 classes, participated in the “outdoor” time. The children dug holes, placed the trees, filled in dirt, protected with mulch, and watered the seedlings. The teachers and students each received Arbor Day handouts and activity sheets; each class received a recognition certificate for observing the special day.
