The City of Laguna Beach has received the Tree USA Growth Award from the Arbor Day Foundation for the community's hard work to improve the urban forest program in 2021.

The Growth Award recognizes major milestones and annual activities in five categories that combine to build sustainable community forestry programs over the long term.

The Tree City USA Growth Award is presented by the Arbor Day Foundation to participating Tree City USA communities that demonstrate higher levels of tree care and community engagement during the calendar year.
