Marysville: Now a Tree City USA
For the first time, the Arbor Day Foundation designated Marysville as a Tree City USA, recognizing the community’s commitment to urban forestry.
Mayor Dennis Kendall also proclaimed April 10 as Arbor Day in Marysville, with many group tree plantings scheduled Saturday and the following two weeks. Almost 1,000 trees were planted last year throughout the city.
To earn the recognition, Marysville met four standards: creating a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.
The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the Forest Service.
