Geneva has been named a "Tree City USA" community for the 24th time thanks to the City's ongoing commitment to effective urban forest management.
 
The Arbor Day Foundation's honor is based on meeting four core standards, including maintaining a tree board or department, having a community tree ordinance, spending at least $2 per capita on urban forestry and conducting an Arbor Day observance.

The City will plant 145 new parkway trees throughout Geneva starting Thursday, May 2.
 
Helping contribute to the cause, the City of Geneva's Natural Resources Committee, Geneva Park District Foundation, and Geneva Library Foundation raised money during February's Wine, Cheese & Trees fundraiser. A portion of that money will be used to plant trees in Geneva's parkways, parks and open spaces throughout the community.
