The Village of Ada has announced that it has been recognized as a Tree City USA for 2021. This shows that the village is doing the following:
- Maintaining a tree board or department
- Having a community tree ordinance
- Spending at least $2 per capita on urban forestry
- Celebrating Arbor Day
Committee member Michele Brunk reports, "As we gear up for Spring, residents of Ada may notice some yellow flags on their property. Those flags are marking spots that we will be planting new trees in. We picked sites that have had trees previously and were removed, and several spaces where there was a lack of trees. We will be receiving those trees [on March 18] and are hoping to get them in the ground over the next week. Residents may also notice Utility Services coming out to mark underground lines prior to the planting."
The village will hold a 41st annual Arbor day celebration on April 29, 2022 and will be present Ada Elementary 3rd graders with trees. This year's tree selection will be Swamp White Oak.
