The City of Glidden was recently honored by being awarded with the 2017 Tree City USA Growth Award. The award was presented to the city Wednesday by the Arbor Day Foundation and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) at the 28th Annual Community Forestry Awards Luncheon in Des Moines. State Forester, Jeff Goerndt, says, “The City of Glidden has provided an outstanding example for other Iowa communities by enhancing our forest resources and demonstrating the great value of trees in providing multiple benefits for future generations.” Glidden was one of 18 Iowa communities to receive the award. The city earned the recognition by continually supporting forestry through education, public relations, partnerships, management and tree maintenance for the public.
