Mountain Brook Celebrates 30 Years as a Tree City USA with Community Festivities and Accolades

Mountain Brook Celebrates 30 Years as a Tree City USA!

You heard it right, folks! Mountain Brook is celebrating a fantastic milestone—30 years of being recognized as a Tree City USA! That’s right, at the City Council meeting on November 25, the community came together to honor this amazing achievement that showcases their commitment to preserving and enhancing their green spaces.

A True Community Effort

The buzz was palpable in the meeting room as council president Virginia Smith, along with council members Dustin Dew and Brandon Plowden, proudly displayed the newly received flag symbolizing this important occasion. Dew, who serves as the chairman of the city’s Board of Landscape Design, noted that the recognition is not just an accolade, but a reflection of the passion and hard work poured into Mountain Brook’s tree program over the years.

What makes this recognition even more impressive is that Mountain Brook also received the coveted Growth Award for 22 years in a row. This means they’re not just settling for the basics to keep their “Tree City” status; they are pushing the envelope and going above and beyond what’s required! Can we get a round of applause?

Commemorative Surprises

The celebration didn’t stop at the flag. Mountain Brook received some delightful commemorative goodies including street signs, stickers that show off the number of years as a Tree City, and a medal for the Growth Award. Now you can expect to see these proud symbols sprinkled throughout the city, reminding residents and visitors alike of their love for trees and the environment.

Recognizing Heroes

Shout out to the city’s tree guardians! The council took a moment to show appreciation for arborists Jerry Weiss and Don Cafaro, who have been instrumental in the city’s tree initiatives. And how cool is it that Katie Wiswall from the Alabama Forestry Commission took the time to commend Mountain Brook? She mentioned she frequently shares Mountain Brook’s exemplary tree program as a model for other cities. Talk about some impressive bragging rights!

A Look at Other Council Matters

Merkos L’Inyonie Chinuch of Alabama (also known as Chabad of Alabama) for another three years, extending through December 31, 2028. This lease ensures that this vital community space continues to serve its purpose and enhance the vibrancy of Mountain Brook.

Additionally, the council approved a Conditional Use request for Well Physical Therapy, which is set to be located at 2701 Cahaba Road—the old Barton-Clay building. This is great news for those in need of some therapeutic care in the community!

Wrapping up the meeting, two right-of-way acquisition and temporary construction easements were granted for the final segment of the Locksley Road sidewalks. The city is making strides with its infrastructure, ensuring Mountain Brook remains as walkable and accessible as ever.

What’s Next?

30 more years of eco-friendly endeavors!
