What this tracks
This dataset tracks Kansas communities certified as Tree Cities by the Arbor Day Foundation, including their tree maintenance efforts and budgets.
Why it matters to you
If you’re choosing where to buy a home in Kansas, this tells you which communities actively invest in green spaces — Beloit spent $34,849 on trees last year. Business owners can see whether a town prioritizes aesthetics (like 16 new trees planted) before opening a storefront. The Growth Award flag shows which cities go beyond minimum requirements.
