Area cities win Tree City U.S.A. designation

Posted
The Washington State Department of Natural Resources recognized 82 cities that have been chosen as a Tree City USA. DNR recognizes cities that earn the Tree City USA title for their efforts in keeping urban forests healthy and vibrant.

There are community events throughout the state during the month of April to celebrate Arbor Day. To be acknowledged as a Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation, a city must designate staff to care for trees, appoint a citizen tree board to advocate for community forestry, establish a tree ordinance, spend at least $2 per capita on tree care, and celebrate Arbor Day.
