Finger Lakes Today

"On behalf of the Arbor Day Foundation, I'm  thrilled to congratulate Geneva on earning recognition as a 2022  Tree City USA.  Residents of Geneva should be proud to  live  in a community that makes the planting and care of trees a priority. Founded  in  1976, Tree City USA  is a partnership between the Arbor Day Foundation, the U.S.  Forest Service, and the National  Association of State Foresters.  Geneva is part of an  incredible network of more than 3,600 Tree City  USA  communities nationwide, with a combined population of 155  million. Over the  last few years, the value and  importance of trees has become  increasingly clear.  Cities and towns across the globe are facing issues with air quality, water resources, personal  health and well-being, and energy use.  Geneva has taken steps to create to a brighter, greener future. We hope you  are as excited as we are to share this accomplishment with your local  media and your residents.  Enclosed  in this packet is a press release for you to distribute at your convenience. We're excited to celebrate your commitment to the people and trees of Geneva.  Thank you, again, for your efforts." - Dan Lambe, Arbor Day Foundation Chief Executive
