The Ohio Department of Natural Resources says the state remains the national leader in the number of Tree City USA communities with 242. It marks Ohio's 34th year at the top of the program. The agency says Ohioans last year planted more than 29 thousand trees, pruned more than 83 thousand, volunteered more than 8 thousand hours in their urban forestry programs and invested more than 43 million dollars toward city forestry efforts. In 1997, Ohio became the first state to have more than 200 Tree City USA communities.
