The City of Savannah has been named a Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation yearly since 1983 in honor of its commitment to effective urban forest management. This is in recognition of the City meeting the program's requirements, a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of a minimum of $2 per capita, and an Arbor Day observance proclamation.
