The city has earned this recognition by meeting five core standards that demonstrates their dedication and determination towards planting and conserving trees for a greener future. The city met these standards through the creation of the Urban Forest Plan, current street tree and other inventories, performance indicators and monitoring reports, tree planting, tree policies and laws, annual budgets, and staff/capacity.
