Lilburn Named Tree City USA Again
It's the fourth time the city has earned the distinction.
Lilburn has been recognized as a Tree City USA community by the Arbor Day Foundation, the city announced via press release Friday afternoon.
It marks the fourth year Lilburn has earned the national designation.
A Tree City USA community must meet four standards to be considered: have a tree board or department; a tree-care ordinance; a community forestry program and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.
