Every year the Colorado Tree Coalition sponsors a tree poster contest for k-5 students. In 2019, Bodhi Gilroy won statewide.

From August 16, 2019 Delta County Independent:

Bodhi Gilroy is one talented young artist. A fifth grade student at North Fork School of Integrated Studies, Gilroy submitted the winning entry for the annual Colorado Tree Coalition Arbor Day Poster Contest.

Sponsored by the Colorado Tree Coalition and the Colorado State Forest Service, Arborscape Services, and Denver’s “Be a Smart Ash” emerald ash borer campaign, the contest was open to all Colorado fifth-grade students. This year’s theme is “Celebrate Trees in Our Community.”

The poster will be displayed at the Colorado State Capitol through the month of April. Bodhi, his family and NFSIS teacher, Lauren Ziccardi, will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Denver and tour the Capitol.
