<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">HARRISBURG –
Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe today announced the
agency will be helping Commonwealth school students learn about the vital role
of trees in the environment through its “Seedlings for Schools” program, in
which students will be able to plant a variety of tree seedlings at home, on
school grounds or in their community.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'"><BR>“There is no
charge to schools participating in this project, as the seedlings are provided
by the Game Commission’s Howard Nursery,” Roe said. “The cost of shipping
seedlings is covered through the generous donations of Waste Management;
Mealey’s Furniture; Wildlife for Everyone Foundation; USFWS-Partners for
Wildlife; and Pheasants Forever Chapter 603.”<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'"><BR>The program
provides two levels of involvement based on the grade level, and the agency has
been working with the state Department of Education to get the word out about
the availability of seedlings.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">“Seedlings for
Your Class” is primarily for third grade students. As part of this
program, the Game Commission provides a classroom or one grade level with enough
seedlings for each student to take a seedling home to plant. Seedling
choices are silky dogwood or white spruce, and a teacher’s guide comes with the
seedlings. Orders will be accepted Jan. 5- April 1.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">“Seedlings to
Develop Habitats” is primarily for middle and high school students. As
part of this program, the Game Commission provides a variety of seedlings to
students interested in planting seedlings on school or community grounds to
improve habitat, plant along a stream, develop a tree nursery, or create an
environmental area. Orders will be accepted Feb. 23- April
1.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">“Seedlings come
in bundles of 25, and will be shipped directly to schools by UPS during the
weeks of April 14 and 22, dependent on order receipt and weather, to be
available for Arbor Day plantings,” said Cliff Guindon, superintendent of the
Game Commission’s Howard Nursery. “Once seedlings arrive, it is important
to keep them moist. Hand out seedlings with roots in gallon baggies with
moist shredded newspaper or plant in juice/milk carton for transplanting at
home. ‘How to plant’ information and educational materials will be provided with
seedlings.” <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
