One of only 20 Georgia cities to be recognized with the distinction
The City of Norcross was one of 20 Georgia cities recognized recently as a Tree City USA during the state Arbor Day celebration in Duluth on February 7th.
Tree City USA provides the framework for community forestry management in cities and towns nationwide that meet certain requirements, including the establishment of a tree board or department, a community tree ordinance, specific spending levels for urban forestry and planned Arbor Day celebrations. There are 155 Tree Cities USA in Georgia, and nearly 30 percent of the state's population lives in a Tree City. Nationwide, more than 3,400 Tree City USA communities serve as home to about 135 million Americans.
