Conneaut Ohio is the recipient of the Tree City USA award for the 24th consecutive year.
There are four requirements that must be met in order for a city to be eligiable for the award:
- A special Tree Board Department
- A Forestry Program
- A Tree Care Ordinance
- An Arbor Day Ceremony
Conneaut, Ohio has a Tree Commission comprised of dedicated Conneaut Residents who work hard to ensure Conneaut meets the above requirements and keeps adding trophies to their already impressive list. The upcoming Arbor Day Ceremony is set for April 25, 2009 and will feature a special dedication of a new observation deck that overlooks a pond in the middle of Malek Park.
If you are interested in becoming a member, there is no need to be a "tree expert" just a desire to keep Conneaut green - call Rod Raker, Conneaut Tree Commission president at 440-593-4156 or visit the group's website at www.conneauttreecity.com.
