According to the foundation, every community, regardless of size, benefits in different ways from being a Tree City USA. Reports of these benefits have reached The Arbor Day Foundation through the years and include citizen pride, financial assistance and an increased public image. “We are certainly thrilled for this designation again this year,” says Westfield Parks Director Melody Jones. “These standards have helped provide direction for our growing community,” says Jones.
