Pittsfield Named Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation01:59PM / Monday, April 27, 2009
PITTSFIELD, Mass. – Mayor James M. Ruberto announced that the City of Pittsfield has been named a Tree City USA community by the Arbor Day Foundation honoring the City’s commitment to community forestry.
“It is the fourth year Pittsfield has received this national recognition,” said Mayor Ruberto. “The City has worked hard to become a Tree City, and we will continue to preserve our trees that are so vital to our community.”
The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service.
Pittsfield has met the four standards to become a Tree City USA community: having a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program, and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.
Communities that receive Tree City USA recognition not only have taken the time to meet these four standards, they recognize that:
· Trees promote healthier communities. Leaves filter the air we breathe by removing dust and other particles.
· Trees moderate climate, conserve water, and provide habitat for wildlife.
· Trees in urban areas reduce the head island effect caused by pavement and buildings.
· Properly placed trees can increase property values, and buildings in wooded areas rent more quickly and tenants stay longer.
“A community, its elected officials, and its citizens that provide needed care for its trees deserves recognition and thanks,” said John Rosenow, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. “Trees are a vital component of the infrastructure in our cities and towns, and they also provide environmental and economical benefits. Cities that are recognized with a Tree City USA designation go to great lengths to plant and care for the community forest.”

The Arbor Day Foundation is a nonprofit, environmental, and educational organization of nearly one million members, with a mission to inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. More information on the Foundation and its programs can be found at www.arborday.org. |
