Tree tree city, birch 🎶🌲
..or whatever it was that Tyga said

The Arbor Day Foundation named Conway a 2025 Tree City USA in honor of its commitment to plant, grow, and maintain trees to benefit the community.

To earn Tree City USA recognition, a city must uphold four core standards including maintaining a tree board or department, having a community tree ordinance, spending at least $2 per capita on urban forestry, and participating in an Arbor Day celebration.

The Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program is operated in partnership with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service. To learn more about Tree City USA and other Arbor Day Foundation programs, visit arborday.org/programs.

Michael did a great job cutting down his invasive Bradford pear tree earlier this month. He'll be getting a free native tree to replace it with this fall as part of our Bradford Pear Bounty Program.

03/23/2026

Just a reminder that our Bradford Pear Bounty Program is still going on. The first 25 people who email photos proving they removed a Bradford pear will get a free native tree replacement this fall. The fall trees will be larger-sized and potted. Email photos to [email protected] .

Conway, we need to talk.

If you’ve stepped outside lately & thought, “Why does it smell like a seafood market behind a gas station?” You’re not alone. For a moment, you might assume a truck hauling tilapia wiped out in one of our 73 roundabouts.

Bad News: it’s not fish.
Worse News: it’s Bradford pears.

Those fluffy white trees blooming all over town are invasive, structurally weak, & responsible for Conway’s signature Spring fragrance: Eau de Decaying Co**se.

So the Conway Tree Board is putting out a bounty. The first 25 households that remove a Bradford pear and send us before & after photos will receive a FREE native replacement tree at our Arbor Day celebration. You remove the Bradford pear. We’ll help you plant something way better…native trees that won’t make the neighborhood stop mid-walk and ask, “…what died?!”

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to get rid of that Bradford pear, this is it. 🌳
