Abstract
Paramus, New Jersey, was there at the birth of the Tree City USA award and has been part of this national recognition program ever since. For over 20 years, Tree City USA signs, plaques, and flags have been prominently displayed throughout the borough. Official stationery, entrance signs to the community, public buildings and schools, and municipal vehicles display the Tree City USA identification (see Fig. 1).This award has caught the attention of the American people and has brought trees to the forefront of public awareness. In Paramus, Tree City USA is a household phrase because people appreciate the importance and beauty of trees.
