In honor of Arbor Day, Armstrong Conservation District delivered 3-year old Fraser fir seedlings along with fun activity packets to every 3rd grade student in Armstrong County. 🌲 A total of 725 seedlings and packets were delivered!

Much appreciation to Mr. Misera’s Natural Resources Technology students at Lenape Tech for packing up each seedling with care! And Thank you to Outdoor Discovery Center’s Program Coordinator Rachel Filippini for her help as well!

We hope the 3rd graders had fun learning about Arbor Day and we hope they enjoy watching their Fraser firs grow!
