Arbor Day Foundation Names Swedesboro Tree City USA

Posted on

Swedesboro, NJ was named a 2014 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation in honor of its commitment to effective urban forest management.

Swedesboro achieved Tree City USA recognition by meeting the program’s four requirements:  a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.

The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation, in partnership with the U.S. Forest Serve and the National Association of State Foresters.

“Everyone benefits when elected officials, volunteers and committed citizens in communities like Swedesboro make smart investments in urban forests,” said Matt Harris, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. “Trees bring shade to our homes and beauty to our neighborhoods, along with numerous economic, social and environmental benefits.”

Cleaner air, improved storm water management, energy savings and increased property values and commercial activity are among the benefits enjoyed by Tree City USA communities.

More information on the program is available at arborday.org/TreeCityUSA.

About the Arbor Day Foundation: The Arbor Day Foundation is a million member nonprofit conservation and education organization with the mission to inspire people to plant, nurture and celebrate trees.  More information is available at arborday.org.

It’s time to Light It Up Blue in Swedesboro again in honor of Autism Awareness Month and I am hoping that you will once again help Swedesboro stand out as a community that cares about all the people who deal with Autism on a daily basis.  I’m asking all businesses to consider swapping out one or more of your lights with a blue light from April 2 through April 30th.  If you want more information about this effort please check out this website – https://www.autismspeaks.org/liub
The town will be doing our part once again by lighting up our buildings with Blue Lights – please join us.
