Model Urban Forest is a town where there are
lots of trees, flowers and shrubs. It is a
city where the natural wildlife of the area can
flourish without risk of extinction.
It is a place where people take
responsibility for and pride in their community
and keep it clean, free of pollution and free of
litter. A Model Urban Forest is a city
or town trying to live in harmony with nature.
Bayonne can and will be a Model Urban Forest,
now and for generations to come. |
