Nevada has been notified by the Arbor Day Foundation that it is a 2023 Tree City USA recipient, a designation that shows that our community prioritizes tree planting and care.
Founded in 1976, Tree City USA is a partnership between the Arbor Day Foundation, the U.S. Forest Service, and the National Association of State Foresters. Nevada is part of an incredible network of more than 3,600 Tree City USA communities nationwide, with a combined population of 155 million.
Over the last few years, the value and importance of trees has become increasingly clear. Cities and towns across the globe are facing issues with air quality, water resources, personal health and well-being, and energy use. Nevada has taken steps, especially through the work of our Parks and Recreation Department, to create a brighter, greener future.
