Abstract

Summary As endorsed by 1,050 volunteer municipalities, the Tree City USA program owes its success to close cooperation and coordination between five major public organisations. At the national level, Tree City USA integrates the efforts and resources of the National League of Cities and the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Both the League and the Conference strive to upgrade the greenspace status of America's community and urban areas. Information exchange and coordinating expertise comes from the State and Private Forestry Division of the USDA Forest Service. The majority of the organising efforts and guidance of local, municipal tree boards comes from the National Association of State Foresters. And the National Arbor Day Foundation headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska maintains national records as well as providing logistical support for the entire Tree City USA program.
