CONVENTION!!!
Trees are very important to our environment. They supply the
oxygen we breathe, stabilization of the soil, prevent erosion, shelter
wildlife, conservation of energy by providing shade, filtering air and
adding beauty to our cities.
Trees also provide beautiful colors and they are invaluable to
absorb a high percentage of carbon dioxide. They affect areas
economically, provide lumber for our homes, our furniture and paper
products.
Clubs should record and report the planting of all trees so as to
receive credit for an award. Awards may be earned by entering and
sending a Book of Evidence (BOE) to this Chairman at the end of the
year. Take pictures and record all the trees you plant. Get
your community involved in planting Honor and Memorial Trees.
When a tree is planted, have a ceremony for the family. This is a
very successful way of getting trees planted.
Apply for Deep South Region Tree Award #9 and for FFGC Flowering
Tree Award #48 and Tree Planting Achievement Award #49.
