Tree City USA and Growth Awards

Tree City USA and Growth Awards
The Village of Lincolnshire has been recognized as a Tree City USA for its sixteenth consecutive year. To become a Tree City, a community must meet four standards: it must have an active Forestry Division, a community tree ordinance, a comprehensive forest management plan, and an Arbor Day observance.

Lincolnshire also received the Tree City Growth Award. This is the fourteenth year in a row that the village has received this distinction. The Growth Award recognizes a community's commitment to improving the awareness and quality of municipal tree care practices.

Both awards are provided by the National Arbor Day Foundation, in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters.
