Tree Line USA is an Arbor Day Foundation program that recognizes best practices in public and private utility arboriculture, demonstrating how trees and utilities can co-exist for the benefit of communities and citizens. Participating utilities adhere to five core standards: quality tree care, annual worker training, tree planting and public education, tree-based energy conservation program, and Arbor Day celebration.
