March 12. The Arbor Day Foundation has named the Town of Davidson a 2024 Tree City USA in honor of its commitment to plant, grow, and maintain trees. Davidson has been a Tree City USA since 2010.
To become a Tree City USA, Davidson must live up to four standards:
- Have a Tree Board or Department
- A Public Tree Care Ordinance
- A Community Forestry Program with an Annual Budget of at Least $2 Per Capita
- An Arbor Day Observance and Proclamation
Arbor Day is April 25
Maybe Cornelius should be named a “Cut Down Trees City” – seems like a whole lot of that going on here.
