Tree City USA - 27 Years and Counting!Sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation, Brigham City is proud to be designated a Tree City USA. Certain steps are required to obtain this designation. They are: establishing a Tree Board, creating a Tree Care Ordinance, setting up a Community Forestry Program with an Annual Budget of at least $2.00 Per Capita and an Arbor Day Observance and Proclamation. Our commitment to the health of the trees in our community is apparent by the 26 years of uninterrupted Tree City USA designation! Your City Forester and YouCity Foresters possess the skills to help you in planting, transplanting, pruning, fertilizing, pest control and an array of other tree care practices. They also offer advice in diagnosing problems, and recommending treatments. If you have questions you may contact the City Forester at (435)734-6615. Shade Tree CommissionBrigham City is famous for its tree-lined streets. The majestic sycamore trees along Main Street are considered to be one of the finest examples of successful urban forestry in Utah. The Shade Tree Commission was established to foster urban forestry in Brigham City. Mayor Olof Zundel and the City Council established the Shade Tree Commission in 1966. The Ordinance states that "The duties of the Shade Tree Commission are advisory to the City Council and shall extend to all policies and phases of tree culture related to trees and shrubs now planted and growing or hereafter to be planted and grown upon any and all of the public streets and places of Brigham City." The Commission meets October through April on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 5:00 p.m. in the Public Works Conference Room located at the Public Works Complex, 980 W. Forest Street.
