The Tree City USA designation from Arbor Day Foundation would allow Niles to be eligible for state and federal grants. According to the organization’s website, to become a Tree City, a municipality must: have a tree board or department; have a community forestry program with an annual budget of at least $2 per capita; have an Arbor Day observance and proclamation; and have a tree care ordinance.
