PARSIPPANY — Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills has been named a Tree City for the 39th consecutive year. Tree City USA recognition from the National Arbor Day Foundation is a symbol of how important our community forestry program is to us.
Communities receive Tree City USA designation upon recommendation by state foresters who co-sponsor the program along with USDA Forest Service. To become a Tree City USA, a community must have a city tree ordinance, a legal tree governing body, a comprehensive forestry program and an Arbor Day observance.
A tree planting ceremony was held in honor of Arbor Day at the Township’s historic Baldwin House located at 460 South Beverwyck Road.
