Tree City USA
The City of Westlake was pleased to host the 2016 Tree City USA Awards (PDF) on 5/10/16, at La Centre. Westlake was proud to celebrate its 25th year as a Tree City. The event had a great turn out of 238 people from 66 cities and 13 vendors/exhibitors.
Since 1991, Westlake has held the designation of
Tree City USA, which it earned by meeting four standards established by the National Arbor Day Foundation and the National Association of State Foresters. Those standards include maintaining a
tree commission, a tree care ordinance and a community forestry program, and holding an annual Arbor Day observance.
