Burley's Arbor Day celebration will be held at White Pine School on Friday, April 23^rd at 10:00am. 

The Modern Woodmen of America will donate a Colorado Blue Spruce to the school for the event.  4^th grade students are invited to the presentation given by Mayor Terry Greenman, Gerry Bates of the Idaho Community Forestry Advisory Council, and Principal Matt Seely. 

Four 4^th grade winners of an essay contest will be announced and will be recognized on a plaque that will hang at the school.  Dile Monson, who recently retired as the city’s electrical superintendent, and Bill Atkins from the Cassia Regional Technical Center made the plaque from  the wood of a silver maple tree.

Every year the Burley tree committee works with the 4^th graders to promote trees and their care.  This will be the third year a tree has been planted at the school in honor of National Arbor Day and the city’s 10^th year to receive recognition as a Tree City USA.
