Danbury Named Tree City USA For 27th Consecutive Year

From the City of Danbury: Mayor Mark Boughton is proud to announce that the City of Danbury has once again been named as a Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation. To celebrate Earth Day and Arbor Day, City Hall will be waving our Tree City flag from Earth Day to May 1st.

Danbury continues to show its dedication to tree care ordinances with an outstanding and diligent Forestry Department. To achieve the title of Tree City USA, Danbury must have a dedicated forestry division, a comprehensive community forestry division, tree care ordinances, and an Arbor Day observation.

“It is our sincere hope that residents will join us for the ceremonial tree plantings on Arbor Day,” said Mayor Boughton. “We are proud to be a Tree City USA once again, and will continue on our mission to preserve and grow our woodlands.”

In honor of this Arbor Day, on Friday, April 28th, Mayor Boughton will join the Lions Club at 10:00am for their annual Memorial Tree Planting on Lions Way in Rogers Park. Following that, at 11:00am, the Danbury Garden Club will hold their tree planting ceremony at Lake Kenosia Park. And finally, the City of Danbury tree planting will take place at 1:00pm at the Western CT Academy for International Studies Magnet School.
