Pine Hill and F.S. Irvin celebrate Arbor Week
Christopher Robinson gave the invocation. Hannah January read a "Brief History of Arbor Day". Octavia Garner led everyone in the singing of God Bless America. Pine Hill Mayor Harry Mason praised the F. S. Ervin students and staff for their continued support of Pine Hill's urban forestry program and thanked them for their campus tree planting program. This was the twenty-first tree planting, which is alternated between the school and Pine Hill's walking tract park. A Flowering Bradford Pear tree was planted on campus grounds by Dusty McDanal with Paul Wingard demonstrating to the fourth grade students proper tree planting techniques.
Ending the program, Paul Wingard, Wilcox County Forester, on behalf of the City of Pine Hill, the National Arbor Day Foundation, and the Alabama Forestry Commission presented the school with a Tree City Flag in recognition of the twenty years of effort elected officials, staff, students, teachers, and citizens have put into Pine Hill's Tree City program.
