Mexico was named a 2020 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation in honor of its commitment to effective urban forest management.
The city achieved the 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.
“Tree City USA communities see the impact an urban forest has in a community first hand,” said Dan Lambe, president of the Arbor Day Foundation. “The trees being planted and cared for by Mexico are ensuring that generations to come will enjoy to a better quality of life. Additionally, participation in this program brings residents together and creates a sense of civic pride, whether it’s through volunteer engagement or public education.”
The Arbor Day Foundation recently launched the Time for Trees initiative with unprecedented goals of planting 100 million trees in forests and communities and inspiring five million tree planters by 2022.
