NEWBURYPORT — Looking to teach fifth-grade students why trees are vitally important before they begin crafting entries for the Department of Conservation and Recreation’s Arbor Day Poster Contest, Newburyport Tree Commission Secretary Marcia Edson recently visited Edward G. Molin Upper Elementary School.
“The cool thing is the Molin has won (the contest) twice,” Edson said during Thursday afternoon’s visit to the Low Street school.
