O programa Tree City USA é um programa nacional administrado pela Arbor Day Foundation que fornece a estrutura para o manejo florestal comunitário para cidades e vilas em toda a América. As comunidades alcançam o status de Tree City USA atendendo a quatro padrões básicos de manejo florestal urbano sólido: manter um conselho ou departamento de árvores, ter um decreto comunitário sobre árvores, gastar pelo menos US$ 2 per capita em silvicultura urbana e celebrar o Dia da Árvore. As comunidades participantes demonstraram um compromisso em cuidar e gerir as suas árvores públicas. Juntas, as mais de 3,400 comunidades de Tree City USA abrigam mais de 135 milhões de americanos.
