The city of Palm Coast has been re-certified as a Tree City USA and also received a Tree City USA Growth Award, both from the National Arbor Day Foundation, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters.

The Tree City USA program provides direction, technical assistance, public attention and national recognition for urban and community forestry programs.

Palm Coast was recognized for promoting environmental improvement and higher levels of tree care for citizens by enforcing a specific tree care ordinance, offering a comprehensive community forestry program, establishing a Green Team and sponsoring an annual Arbor Day observance. This is the city’s seventh Tree City honor.
