URBAN & COMMUNITY FORESTRY

  •  

     + Tree City USA / Tree Campus USA / Tree Line USA

    • 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.
    • Tree Campus USA recognizes excellence in campus tree care as well as student engagement in tree-related projects within the surrounding community. 
    • Tree Line USA recognizes best practices in public and private utility arboriculture, while emphasizing the value trees have in conserving energy.

    All three in one community is a trifecta of Trees USA and shows a collaborative effort in enhancing the forest where we live, work, and play.
