Thunderbolt receives tree foundation award
The Savannah Tree Foundation presented the 2014 Page Hungerpiller Award to the town of Thunderbolt Oct. 7.
Mayor Beth Goethe accepted the award at the tree foundation’s annual gala at Ships of the Sea Museum with members of the Thunderbolt Tree Commission and Public Works Department in attendance.
The award is given annually to a government body dedicated to serving its citizens by protecting, maintaining and growing the urban forest.
In 2011 Thunderbolt formed a tree commission, allocated annual funding for its community forestry program and hired consulting arborist Jerry Holcomb to do a tree inventory to establish a canopy baseline and determine areas of need.
