The Arbor Rangers ™ must make decisions everyday at home, at school, at play, and when saving trees. They make mistakes and bad choices sometimes, but as a team they pull together to help each other succeed. Some are better at certain things than others and each Ranger has his or her strengths and weaknesses.
The contests we sponsor are meant for positive reinforcement, creative development, team-building, as well as personal achievement that can inspire others to work harder to reach their goals. We strongly encourage parents and other family members to get involved, as you will be a key support system!
Here are some contests that Arbor Rangers, LLC have been involved in or plan to launch in the near future:
- Indiana Arbor Day Poster Contest
- The Arbor Rangers™ Theme Music Composition Contest (pending)
- Tree Photo Contest – The tallest tree, the prettiest tree, the weirdest tree, etc. (pending)
- Poetry About Trees (pending)
- Arbor Rangers™ Look-alikes/ Cosplay Contest (pending)
- and MORE!
