Forestry
The City of Mandan is proud to be designated a Tree City USA. Mandan has earned this distinction for the last 47 years, since its inception in 1976. Certain criteria must be met to qualify for this designation each year:
- adequate budget allocation for city forestry;
- a city tree ordinance;
- and a formal Arbor Day celebration each year.
The Mandan Forestry Division consists of the grounds maintenance superintendent and one full-time employee. Citizens may call the grounds maintenance superintendent for advice on trees problems.
