The North Dakota Forest Service is pleased to recognize the efforts and accomplishments of North Dakota’s Tree City USA communities, Tree Line USA utility, and Tree Campus USA schools of higher learning. Each of these award winners has earned status and recognition for calendar year 2019 by fulfilling program requirements set in place by the Arbor Day Foundation.

Trees in communities provide natural beauty, shade, wind protection, and improve the health and well-being of residents. Trees frame the landscapes where we live, work and play. We acknowledge the collective efforts of community leaders, forestry departments, tree boards and volunteers who plant and care for their community trees.

In lieu of an in-person recognition program, we invite you to view this Tree City USA Story Map which offers a glimpse of North Dakota’s Arbor Day Foundation 2019 award winners. To see the story map, please visit the ND Tree City USA Communities 2019 Story Map.

Congratulations to each and every one of these communities that represent North Dakota’s best.
