For the 23rd year in a row the Arbor Day Foundation named Worthington a "Tree City USA Community." Worthington has met the four standards to become a Tree City USA Community: have a tree board, a tree-care ordinance, a community forestry program with annual expenditures of at least $2 per capita, and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. Trees benefit our community. They shade our homes and add beauty to our neighborhoods, and they also provide many environmental, economic and social benefits.
