Tree City USA

Hermann is Tree City USA 

The National Arbor Day Foundation (NADF) developed the Tree City USA Program to promote healthy community development, generate awareness on the economic, social and environmental importance of urban forests and to showcase communities that have benefited from their involvement in the program.

Trees in our community help clean the air, conserve soil and water, moderate temperature and bring nature into our daily lives. Trees are a vital component of the infrastructure in our community and provide many environmental and economical benefits. A Tree City USA designation recognizes the work of elected officials, staff and citizens who plant and care for the community forest.

To qualify for this honor, a City must have a tree ordinance in place, hold an Arbor Day event, have a mayoral proclamation and have an aggressive street tree and urban forestry program.

Because the City of Hermann has new and on-going programs in place that demonstrate a commitment to trees in our community, Hermann has been named Tree City USA by the National Arbor Foundation in 2006.
