Tree City USA

The City of Noblesville has continued to earn the designation of Tree City USA 34 consecutive years. The city has held this designation longer than any other city in Hamilton County.

The Tree City USA program started in 1979. Only four cities in Indiana that have participated longer than Noblesville – Bloomington, Indianapolis, Elkhart and Angola. Noblesville received Tree City USA recognition by meeting the program’s four requirements: a tree board or department; a tree-care ordinance; an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita; and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation, in partnership with the United States Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters.

Earth Day/Arbor Fest

On Arbor Day, SMC Corporation of America joined Mayor Chris Jensen and Noblesville Tree Board members to plant trees at Same As U, 19201 Promise Road. Same As U is one of the inaugural Noblesville Tree Planning Grant recipients.

SMC Corporation donated $2,000 to the tree planting grant program, which has been matched by the City of Noblesville through Mayor Jensen and the Common Council. Additional inaugural grant recipients include Deer Creek Elementary School, Mill Grove, Deer Path, Oakmont, and Verdure Sciences.
