2018 Davis Arbor Day Celebration
Hello City of Davis Community!
The National Arbor Day Foundation created a special designation for cities who meet certain criteria in their Urban Forestry programs - it's called Tree City USA. The City of Davis is about to be awarded its 40th consecutive award for being a Tree City USA! In California, we've had this designation the second longest to Sacramento. We received our very first Tree City USA designation only 1 year after the program started.
To learn more about the Tree City USA program, please visit the National Arbor Day Foundation site.
To celebrate, we hosted our annual Arbor Day event in Central Park on Saturday, March 17, 2018.
City of Davis Arbor Day Art Contest!
Eligible contestants: School-aged children in the City of Davis, grades Kindergarten through 9th.
Theme: Why I Love Trees
Our goal was to draw out of our young community their own personal perspective of trees. However, applicants were allowed to use this art contest as a teaching moment about the environmental, social, economic, and health benefits of urban forestry, using the facts, figures, and illustrations found on the Invest from the Ground Up Resources site.
Display: Submissions were at City Hall, in the display case, from February 15 through March 19. They can also be seen at the top of our home page in our image rotation.
Awards:
- Winners were chosen by City of Davis Urban Forestry and Environmental Resources staff, based on the following age groups:
- Winners were announced and prizes awarded at our Arbor Day Celebration on Saturday, March 17, 2018 at Central Park.
