The City of Medina has been a proud recipient of the Tree City USA award for the past 40 years. Medina is known for it’s beauty and one aspect of this appeal are the wonderful selection, placement, and management of our trees. The trees add to the appearance to our community and they also add to the value of our homes and properties, reduce storm water run-off, control erosion and improve the air quality.
