The City of West Fargo Receives Growth Award

By City of West Fargo Staff

The City of West Fargo was named a Growth Award recipient by the Arbor Day Foundation for the eighth consecutive year and a Tree City USA for the 39th consecutive year.

The Tree City USA designation is given to communities that have a Forestry Division, tree ordinance, spend at least $2 per capita on urban forestry and celebrate Arbor Day.

The Growth Award recognizes major milestones and annual activities over the past year that combine to build sustainable community forestry programs.

“The Growth Award recognizes that West Fargo is continually implementing innovative ideas and strategies to grow and promote our urban forestry programs,” said West Fargo City Forester Chad Zander.

“We are proud that this is our eighth year honored and are striving to receive the award 10 years in a row to earn West Fargo the distinction of Sterling Community.”

The Awards were presented at an Arbor Day Celebration on May 12. During the event, Mayor Bernie Dardis officially proclaimed May 12 as Arbor Day in the City of West Fargo. In celebration of Arbor Day, the City’s Urban Forestry Committee upheld a long-standing tradition and dedicated a tree to long-time West Fargo residents Nancy and Gary Ostrom.
