More than 1,800 trees will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Proof of Clearwater residency is required. A voter’s registration card, a Florida driver’s license or a recent utility bill can be used to prove residency. City staff will answer questions relating to maintaining and watering the new trees.
“Trees are a vital component of our city and provide environmental and economic benefits”, said Clearwater Mayor, Frank Hibbard. “I’m thrilled that Clearwater has been recognized once again as a Tree City USA.”
The National Arbor Day Foundation sponsors the Tree City USA program in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service. To qualify for Tree City USA status, Clearwater must have a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.
