The city of Fayetteville met the four criteria necessary to place it on the national Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA list for 2014. Designated sites must have a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, a community forestry program with an annual budget of at least $2 per capita, and an official Arbor Day proclamation and observance. The Tree City USA progam is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation along with the U.S. Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters. The foundation credits urban forest management with cleaner air, improved storm water management and increased property values.
