Prosper Recognized as a Tree City USA®
for Commitment to Urban Forestry
The Arbor Day Foundation named Prosper a 2021 Tree City USA! This recognition was received by meeting the program's four requirements: forming a tree board or department, creating a tree-care ordinance, having an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita, and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.
The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation, in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters.
Prosper Parks has received the Tree City USA designation yearly since 2018 and the Texas Municipal League (TML) Scenic City Award yearly since 2015. In 2018, Lakewood Preserve was honored with the Texas Recreation and Parks Society (TRAPS) Quality of Life Initiative Award.
The Prosper 2022 Arbor Day Celebration is scheduled for Saturday, November 5.
