Each year the Urban Forestry Committee selects a recipient to help celebrate Arbor Day. This year the committee will be planting a tree in honor of a West Fargo resident. The Arbor Day program will announce a date and time for this special day. A West Fargo Public School class will also be selected to be a part of this special day.
The City of West Fargo is a Tree City USA. In order to be a Tree City USA, a city needs to have a Forestry Council, follow Tree Care ordinances, have an annual budget of at least $2 per capita, and hold an Arbor Day Observance and Proclamation. The Forestry Council also offers tree workshops throughout the year.
