Happy Arbor Day! 🌳
Mount Prospect is proud of its tree-lined streets! This photo from the mid-20th century, taken by Robert B. Zilius, shows one of many streets in town where the overhanging tree branches create a picturesque canopy.
Although residents have enjoyed the tree canopies for decades, Mount Prospect was first recognized by the Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City USA in the 1980s. Mount Prospect has continued to receive this designation since then because of the town's commitment to urban forestry management.
