The City of Howell has been named a Tree City USA by The National Arbor Day Foundation. Since 1988 the City of Howell has received this national recognition. The Tree City USA program is sponsored by The National Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service. To become a Tree City USA, the City must have a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program, and an Arbor Day observance. More than ever, today we understand the importance of trees to our cities and towns. Trees help clean our air and water, moderate heat and cold, and bring warmth and grace to our homes. The City is proud to be a part of this important national program. For more information on the Tree City USA program, contact Erv Suida at the DPW (517) 546-7510.
