Irving Named Tree City USA

Nationwide, more than 3,000 cities participated in the Tree City USA program. Through strategic initiatives the City of Irving was officially named a Tree City USA designation in 2009. Annual observances, community forestry education programs, and other initiatives that promote environmental sustainability are ongoing in Irving. The achievement of this designation demonstrates that Irving is a community that really cares about its environment.
