Thousands of communities across the country consider their tree canopy a source of pride and continually strive to improve it — and through the Tree City USA program they’re garnering national attention and recognition for it.
Tree City USA® is an elite designation for communities that meet minimum standards set by the Arbor Day Foundation for community forestry programs. Texas A&M Forest Service foresters help leaders qualify for, apply and maintain the distinction.
Founded by the Arbor Day Foundation in 1976, the Tree City USA program provides assistance and recognition to incorporated communities and military bases that maintain a continuously-active tree management program. Cities of any population — from less than 100 to more than 1 million — can qualify.
