Town retains Tree City rating

The Jamestown Tree Preservation and Protection Committee announced this week that Jamestown has been named a Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation.

Jamestown has met the four standards required to be a Tree City USA, which are having a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program and an Arbor Day observance.

This is the fifth year that Jamestown has received the designation.
