NEBRASKA CITY, NE — Waltham, Massachusetts was named a 2017 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation in honor of its commitment to effective urban forest management.

Waltham achieved Tree City USA recognition by meeting the program’s 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.
