“A people without children would face a hopeless future; a country without trees is almost as helpless.” Theodore Roosevelt said this to convey the importance trees and other natural resources play in our lives.

To instill a passion for nature and growing things within the next generation, the Powder River Conservation District (PRCD) gave seedling trees to the students and staff at Broadus Elementary School the morning of May 8th for them to take home and plant. Everyone was able to choose between a Quaking Aspen and Rocky Mountain Juniper seedling.

We were thrilled at the excitement shown by the students and their knowledge of why trees are important.

We hope these seedlings grow into beautiful trees that remind us how easy it is to take care of our surroundings and how important it is to do so.
