[ARCHIVED] Avondale Estates Celebrates Arbor Day with Tree Planting

Arbor Day

Avondale Estates was named a 2018 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation in honor of its commitment to effective urban forest management. The community also received a Tree City USA Growth Award for demonstrating environmental improvement and higher level of tree care. 

Avondale Estates achieved Tree City USA recognition by meeting the program's four requirements: a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. The Tree City USA Programs is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation, in partnership with the U.S. Forest Serivce and the National Association of State Foresters. 

“Tree City USA cities see the impact an urban forest has in a community firsthand,” Arbor Day Foundation President Dan Lambe said. “Additionally, recognition brings residents together and creates a sense of community pride, whether it’s through volunteer engagement or public education.”
