The Town of Greece was named a 2023 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation in honor of its commitment to effective urban forest management. The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation, in partnership with the United States Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters.
The Town of Greece achieved the recognition by meeting the program’s four requirements which include maintaining a tree board or department, having a tree-care ordinance, dedicating an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita, and hosting an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.
“Tree City USA communities see the positive effects of an urban forest firsthand. The trees being planted and cared for by Greece are ensuring that generations to come will enjoy a better quality of life,” said Dan Lambe, CEO of the Arbor Day Foundation.
