Tree City USA—Sterling Communities

The Tree City USA Growth Award is given to communities that go beyond the four standards of Tree City USA and accumulate points from a list of projects that demonstrate improvement and growth of local tree care.

As Tree City USA begins its second quarter-century of serving America, The Arbor Day Foundation is pleased to announce the Sterling award. A community wins this award after participating in the Growth Award program for 10 years.
