Gifted students participate in tree plantings

The City of Wrightsville Tree Board celebrated Georgia Arbor Day on February 19th by planting six trees in and around the downtown area. Will Tanner, local forester, graciously donated all trees to the project. A Little Gem Magnolia was planted on the courthouse square and live oaks and a Shumard Oak were planted in other areas. Gina Bright’s gifted class was present for the plantings and a question and answer session
conducted by Rodney Soles of the tree board. It is hoped the Wrightsville will become a USA Tree City for 2010. Wrightsville’s Tree board members are Chan Carter, Joy Hoover and Rodney Soles. Thanks for your great work!
