Suwanee has earned the designation of being a national Tree City USA for the 20th year in recognition of its commitment to urban forestry.

Suwanee met four standards to become a Tree City, a designation bestowed upon the city by the Arbor Day Foundation. The city has a tree board, tree care ordinance, comprehensive community forestry program, and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.

Suwanee will celebrate Arbor Day in April by planting orchard trees at the new Harvest Farm at White Street Park, which is under construction. 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.
