COLUMBUS-School districts located in Adams and Scioto Counties recently received funding from the Trees to Textbooks program administered by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Forestry, announced State Rep. Justin Pizzulli (R-Scioto County).

Adams County will receive a total of $517,603.12 and Scioto County will receive a total of $275,783.77.
