Newcastle named ‘Tree City USA’ again

The city has again been named a “Tree City USA” community by the Arbor Day Foundation. This is the second year in a row Newcastle has been honored for its commitment to community forestry.
Newcastle met the four standards to become a “Tree City” community: having a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program, and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.
At last year’s Arbor Day event in May Creek Park, Aaron Milner (kneeling) was on hand to help plant 300 trees in three hours with other members of the community. — City of Newcastle
