City of Katy Honored by Arbor Day Foundation

The Arbor Day Foundation recently named the City of Katy a Tree City USA community for its commitment to urban forestry. The designation is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service and requires cities to meet four standards, including: having a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, a community forestry program with annual expenditures of at least $2 per capita, and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.
