The City of Cupertino has been named Tree City USA by the the Arbor Day Foundation to honor the 12th consecutive year in 2023. This recognition honors the City's commitment to effective urban forest management. Tree City USA is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in partnership with the United States Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters. Cupertino was the first of 159 Tree City communities in California to receive this designation. 

The City of Cupertino achieved Tree City USA recognition by meeting the program's four requirements: 

  • Maintaining a tree division 

  • Having a tree-care ordinance 

  • Dedicating an annual community and forestry budget of at least $2 per capita 

  • Hosting an Arbor Day observance and proclamation 

Trees are an asset, and the Tree City USA designation shows the City’s commitment to growing and maintaining a healthy tree canopy and creating a greener future for the community. Learn more about our City trees at here.
