Tree City USA
For the 13th year the City of Wayne has been named a Tree City USA community by the Arbor Day Foundation to honor its commitment to community forestry. The City is also the recipient of a Tree City USA Growth Award for demonstrating progress in its community forestry program in education and public relations, continuing education for tree workers, tree planting / maintenance and recycling.
The national, prestigious Growth Award recognizes environmental improvement and higher levels of tree care in Tree City USA communities.
The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service.
Wayne has met the four standards to become a Tree City USA community: having a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program and an Arbor Day observance.
"Trees are a vital component of the infrastructure in our cities and towns, providing environmental and economical benefits," said John Rosenow, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. "Trees moderate climate, conserve water and provide habitat for wildlife. Trees in urban areas reduce the heat island effect caused by pavement and buildings. Properly placed trees can increase property values. Communities that are recognized with a Tree City USA designation and Growth Award go to great lengths to plant and care for the community forest."
For more information about Tree City USA go to: www.arborday.org/TreeCityUSA. The Arbor Day Foundation is a nonprofit, environmental, and education organization of nearly one million members, with a mission to inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. www.arborday.org.
