2023 Arbor Week Poster Contest Winners

Tree Cheers to our Contest Winners!

Budding artists from all over the state made colorful and joyful posters with the theme of “Trees Plant a Cooler” while learning about the benefits of trees and celebrating our urban forests. The Poster Contest Winners were unveiled during our annual Arbor Week Press Conference which was held in Oakland this year.
