It is a proud heritage that the City enjoys having the longest running record for being Tree City USA in the State of Virginia as well as the honor of being the location of the First Arbor Day in Virginia held in 1892. When I see of all the trees that have been planted over the many years I have lived here and see how large they have become I feel very proud of the efforts expended by so many citizens. Each tree and the people who have planted them have really made a big difference in the beauty of our City over the many years of the Neighborhood Tree Program and now the Branching Out Program.
