The Village of Flower Hill was officially recognized as a member of the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA community program Friday during a ceremony at its village park.
Village officials received a sign on behalf of the foundation to be placed in the park as well as citations from the Town of North Hempstead, Nassau County and from the office of state Sen. Jack Martins.
Officials from the state Department of Environmental Conservation and the Arbor Day Foundation were also present.
Flower Hill joins approximately 3,400 communities across the country as a “Tree City,” which denotes a community’s commitment to maintaining forestation and promoting environmental awareness.
