Tree City USA is a tree planting and tree care program sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation for cities and towns in the United States. == Requirements == To qualify for Tree City USA, a town or city must meet four standards established by the National Arbor Day Foundation (NADF) and the National Association of State Foresters. #It must establish a Tree Board or Department run by a professional forester or arborist, an entire forestry department, or a volunteer tree board that must be legally responsible for the care and management of the community's trees. #It must pass a Tree Care Ordinance that designates the establishment of a tree board or forestry department and give this body the responsibility for writing and implementing an annual community forestry work plan. Beyond that, the ordinance should be flexible enough to fit the needs and circumstances of the particular community. A tree ordinance provides an opportunity to set good policy and back it with the force of law when necessary. Ideally, it will provide clear guidance for planting, maintaining and removing trees from streets, parks and other public places. #It must establish a community forestry program with an annual budget of at least $2 per capita with evidence that the community has established a community forestry program that is supported by that annual budget. #It must organize an Arbor Day observance and proclamation with a simple tree planting event or an award ceremony that honors leading tree planters. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tree City USA」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
