Nine Things to Know About Trees
Fairfax County is one of 3,400 communities that have made the commitment to become a Tree City USA. In the Commonwealth of Virginia there are 56 communities that have attained the Tree City USA designation (as of late February 2018).
The i-Tree program was developed by the U.S. Forest Service, among others. Tree City USA is an Arbor Day Foundation program in cooperation with the US Forest Service, Department of Agriculture, Urban and Community Forestry Program and the National Association of State Foresters.
Fairfax County has earned the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA designation for the 35th consecutive year. Each year since its inception in 1976, thousands of urban foresters across the country submit applications to be considered to receive this cherished designation.
