Fairfield Holding Onto 'Tree City USA' Designation

A special celebration is planned to mark this, the 27th year.

Fairfield may be a town, but it has the distinct honor of the "Tree City USA" designation.

It's an honor the town has had for 27 years and running. And this year, the town will be bestowed that honor during its annual Arbor Day celebration — at 9 a.m. on Saturday, April 26, at the Greenfield Hill Cemetery, 2736 Bronson Road. 

First Selectman Mike Tetreau, Fairfield Tree Warden Ken Placko, Fairfield Forestry Committee Chair Misty Beyer and Melanie Marks, who volunteered to clean up the cemetery, will join Chris Martin, State Forester for Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, who will give the Town an award in honor of Fairfield being a “Tree City USA.”
