Arbor Day poster winners acknowledged by Lincoln City Council          Send a link to a friend

[JUNE 7, 2005]  In line with Lincoln's awareness of the importance of maintaining trees for a healthier, more beautiful environment, the city streets department hosts a poster contest for grade school students each year. Streets Superintendent Tracy Jackson presented the winners of the contest and their posters to the city council.

For the past four years Lincoln has been awarded Tree City USA designation from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources for our forestry efforts. The city maintains a tree program to replace aging trees or adds trees from the city nursery as needed or requested.
