The first graders all seemed to know the right answers to tree-related trivia questions asked by guest speaker Mark Pedretti during the annual Arbor Day Celebration Friday.

Volunteer Mark Pedretti explains to the youth about how the rings inside a tree can tell how old that tree is and also how wet or dry the summers were during its life cycle.

Arbor Day is celebrated by the Prairie du Chien Parks and Recreation Department every year with a special program from PdC public and private school first graders at the St. Feriole Island Memorial Gardens. Each program culminates with the planting of a tree in honor of the first grade class for the year. Volunteer Tom Nelson is pictured showing the kids their tree Friday morning.
