The City of Florissant was named Tree City USA for 2022 by the Arbor Day Foundation in honor of the city\u2019s commitment to effective urban forest management.<br \/>\nThe City of Florissant achieved Tree City Recognition by meeting the program\u2019s four requirements: a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.<br \/>\nTrees provide multiple benefits to a community when properly planted and maintained. They help to improve the visual appeal of a neighborhood, increase property values, reduce home cooling costs, remove air pollutants and provide wildlife habitat, among many other benefits.<br \/>\nThe Tree City USA, Tree Line and Tree Campus USA programs are sponsored by the National Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the US Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters.
