In conjunction with its Natural Resources Department and Vegetation Committee, the city of Sanibel’s Recreation Department will host a youth coloring, essay or poem contest to celebrate Arbor Day.
For grades 4-8, the contest includes an essay or a poem. The topic is “Why is Arbor Day so important?” If the child is submitting a poem, it will need to be a minimum of three lines. For grades K-3, the contest is to submit a drawing inspired by Arbor Day.
The winners will receive a prize and be featured in a city press release.
The deadline for entries is Jan. 5 at 5 p.m.
