They call it "elephant snot," but members of the tree commission love the stuff because it makes small trees live longer in bags.

The trees will be handed out to all Ada third graders on Friday in recognition of National Arbor Day.

Pictured are (from left) Dick Lawrence, a member of the commission for over 30 years; Angela Polackek, assistant village administrator; and Terry Keiser, village forester.
