Tree City USA and Growth Award Winner

Mountain Brook was named a 2019 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation in honor of its commitment to effective urban forest management.  The city also received a Tree City USA Growth Award for demonstrating environmental improvement and higher level of tree care. 

Mountain Brook achieved Tree City USA recognition by meeting the program's four requirements: a tree board, a tree-care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. 

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.
