Westland honored, named
a 2013 Tree City by group
The City of Westland was named a 2013
Tree City, USA by the Arbor Day
Foundation in recognition of the outstand-
ing commitment of the community to effec-
tive urban forestmanagement.
Westland earned the recognition by
meeting the Arbor Day Foundation four
requirements: having 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 andproclamation.
“I am honored that our All-American
City has received this recognition,” said
Mayor Bill Wild. “It represents our com-
mitment to support and invest in our com-
munity's environmental health.”
This designation as a Tree City, USA
comes on the heels of the planting of more
than 100 trees to revitalize the landscape
of the Norwayne Community in Westland.
In addition, the city has a Mission Green
program, dedicated to green initiatives,
and DTE runs a community garden in
Westland.
“Everyone benefits when elected offi-
cials, volunteers, and committed citizens
in communities like Westland make smart
investments in urban forests,” said John
Rosenow, founder and chief executive of
theArborDayFoundation.
Cleaner air, improved stormwaterman-
agement, energy savings, and increased
property values and commercial activity
are among the benefits of Tree City, USA
communities, he added.
The Arbor Day Foundation is a non-
profit conservation and education organi-
zation with the mission to inspire people
to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees.
More information is available at arbor-
day.org.
