In
2009, Madison was named a Tree City, USA for the 20th year..
This award is given annually by the National Arbor
Foundation in cooperation with the USDA Forest Service. Madison has
repeatedly been awarded the Tree City, USA award due to our City's innovative
urban forestry program.
Parks Forestry provides tree planting, trimming and maintenance for over
100,000 trees along Madison's 700 miles of city streets. In addition,
the Forestry section is responsible for hundreds of thousands of trees that
are located in the City's parks, golf courses, cemetery and greenways.
Parks forestry staff are trained to follow rigid safety standards.
Whether planting a new tree or cleaning up after a major wind storm, the
safety of the workers, the public and property are never compromised.
