The Avon Tree Commission announced that it received the Gold Leaf Award from the International Society of Arboriculture for its Arbor Day recognition activities and community forestry efforts. Mary Berges highlighted the award as "a considerable achievement for the Commission," passed the certificate for members to view and said it will be displayed in City Hall.
