LEWISVILLE — Lewisville has been named a Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation for the 13th straight year. The designation recognizes cities that demonstrate a commitment to tree preservation and community forestry. Requirements to be named a Tree City USA include having a tree board or department, enforcing a tree care ordinance, maintaining a comprehensive community forestry program, and holding an annual Arbor Day observance.
The National Arbor Day Foundation, whose goal is to "plant, nurture, and celebrate trees," conducts programs that encourage tree planting and preservation, as well as other educational efforts. Arbor Day is observed on different days depending on the state; but most celebrate it, as does Texas, on the last Friday of April, which this year is April 27.
For information, visit Arbor Day.
