El programa Tree City USA es un programa nacional administrado por la Arbor Day Foundation que proporciona el marco para la gestión forestal comunitaria para ciudades y pueblos de todo Estados Unidos. Las comunidades logran el estatus de Tree City USA al cumplir con cuatro estándares básicos de gestión forestal urbana sólida: mantener una junta o departamento de árboles, tener una ordenanza comunitaria sobre árboles, gastar al menos $2 per cápita en silvicultura urbana y celebrar el Día del Árbol. Las comunidades participantes han demostrado un compromiso con el cuidado y la gestión de sus árboles públicos. En conjunto, las más de 3,400 comunidades de Tree City USA sirven como hogar a más de 135 millones de estadounidenses.
