MILLCREEK TOWNSHIP AWARDED TREE CITY USA STATUS
The year 2016 marks the 40th Anniversary of the Arbor Day Foundation ’ s Tree City USA program .
Millcreek Township is celebrating its first year as a Tree City USA , recognized by the Arbor Day Foundation in honor of its commitment to effective urban forest management . The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in partnership with the U . S . Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters .
Millcreek Township achieved Tree City USA recognition by meeting the program ’ s four requirements : a tree board or department , a tree-care ordinance , an annual community forestry budget of at least $ 2 per capita and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation .
Trees bring shade to our homes and beauty to our neighborhoods , along
with numerous economic , social and environmental benefits . Trees are also assets to a community when properly planted and maintained . They help to improve the visual appeal of a neighborhood , increase property values , reduce home cooling costs , remove air pollutants and provide wildlife habitat , among many other benefits .
