With Arbor Day just around the corner, Goodyear is celebrating being named a Tree City USA by the national Arbor Day Foundation.
The title isn’t one the nonprofit organization dedicated to planting and preserving trees bestows lightly.
To earn it, cities must meet four standards, including designating a board or department to oversee the care and maintenance of trees, enacting a tree care ordinance, spending at least $2 per capita on a community forestry program, and celebrating the benefit of trees with an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.
