Tree City USA
Arbor DayInformation on Arbor Day can be found in our Recreation Brochure |
The Tree City USA program is sponsored by The National Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service.
Novi has met the four standards to become a Tree City USA: a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program, and an Arbor Day observance.
"This year's record number of Tree City USA communities shows a growing level of dedication and care for our urban forests," said John Rosenow, president of The National Arbor Day Foundation. "It shows the people of Novi value trees for the beauty, grace, comfort, and practical blessings they bring.
"The trees in Novi help
clean the air, conserve soil and water, and reduce heating and
cooling costs by moderating temperatures," he added. "Tree
City USA honors the countless men, women, and children in Novi who
are working hard to ensure a greener, healthier tomorrow for us
all."
