[April 27, 2023]
 The
City of Lincoln will hold a ceremonial tree planting in observance
of Arbor Day and being recognized as a Tree City USA community for
the 22nd year.
The Lincoln Street Department would like to invite anyone interested
to attend this celebration to recognize our community’s commitment
to a healthy urban forestry program.
The event will take place on Friday, April 28, 2023, at 10 a.m. am
at the Lincoln Municipal Services Building at 313 Limit Street.
Trees are assets to a community when properly planted and
maintained. They help improve the visual appeal of a neighborhood,
increase property values, reduce home cooling costs, remove air
pollutants and provide wildlife habitat, among many other benefits.

The Tree City USA program is
sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in partnership with the
U.S. Forest Service and the National Association of State
Foresters. Lincoln 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.
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 www.arborday.org.
