Feiser Funeral Home member of Lofty Oaks BETHLEHEM, NH Earth Day comes but once a year for most of us, but for the Feiser Funeral Homes, of New Oxford and East Berlin, it is a year round event. In an effort to bring comfort to the families they serve and to revitalize the earth, the Feiser Funeral Homes have a young tree planted on public lands in Pennsylvania as a living memorial for those they have served. The memorial trees are planted on sites where professional foresters determine they are most needed, and they serve more than one purpose. They contribute to the health and preservation of Pennsylvania forests, they cleanse the air, and they provide habitat for animals In many cases, youth groups plant the trees, so they serve as a valuable learning tool for the future. Demonstrating a strong com- mitment to the community and concern for the environment, the Feiser Funeral Homes, are members of the Lofty Oaks Organization, a nationwide organization dedicated to renewing forests in all 50 states since 1981.

"It's a great way for the students to learn more about the environment and have fun at the same time," said Larry Martick, manager for the Conservation District. "The students really enjoy getting out of school for the day, but they take the competition very seriously. Many of the teams have been studying their materials since the and they would love to win the county's Envirothon and then compete in and win the Pennsylvania Envirothon and hopefully even the National Martick explained.
