The Tree Board cordially invites you to join us on Thursday, April 16th at 10:00 a.m., as we re-plant our tree canopy. We will be planting a Carolina Silverbell, native to the southeastern region. The initiative includes our tree sapling give-away.
This year we celebrate the creativity and talent of our local youth, as we showcase the poetry and artwork of the North Buncombe Middle and High School students. The ‘Young Artists Competition’ submission includes the junior division, grades 7 – 8, and senior division, grades 9 -12. Poetry and Artwork Themes: ‘If I Were a Tree or My Favorite Tree’. Student artwork and poetry will be displayed at the Community Center all through the month of April.
