ARTICLE FROM THE CIRCLEVILLE HERALD: South Bloomfield has been named a Tree City USA by The National Arbor Day Foundation to honor its commitment to its community forest. It is the twelfth year South Bloomfield
has received this national recognition. The Tree City USA program is sponsored by The National Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service. South Bloomfield has met the four standards to become a Tree City USA: a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program and an Arbor Day observance. This years record number of Tree City USA communities show a growing level of dedication and care for our urban forests. said John Rosenow, president of The National Arbor Day Foundation.It shows the people of South Bloomfield value trees for the beauty, grace, comfort and practical blessings they bring. The trees in South Bloomfield help clean the air, conserve soil and water, and reduce heating and cooling costs by moderating temperature, he added. "Tree City USA honors the countless men, women and children who are working hard to ensure a greener, healthier tomorrow for us all".
