Tree City USA

More than 3,400 communities have made the commitment to becoming a Tree City USA. They have achieved Tree City USA status by meeting four core standards of sound urban forestry management: maintaining a tree board or department, having a community tree ordinance, spending at least $2 per capita on urban forestry and celebrating Arbor Day.

Citywide Cleanup

AUFC partnered with KLRB on Saturday, March 8, at Western Hills Park, where more than 25 neighborhoods were involved in the cleanup and beautification of areas of Little Rock. Two trees were planted by AUFC in the park. AUFC volunteers were Nancy Dockter, Lynn Warren, Norm Berner, and Alison Litchy, who is AUFC president. Our thanks goes to Rick McFarland, photographer, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, who put his camera down to help dig the hole for the tree planting. He took this picture of Alison positioning a young red oak tree.

KLRB is a non-profit volunteer-based organization dedicated to litter prevention, recycling and waste reduction. For more information, see http://keeplittlerockbeautiful.com/events/.  A full list of participants can be found there.
