Canfield Township seeks Tree City designation

CANFIELD — Trustee Randy Brashen wants bragging rights.

After hearing about awards and grants Canfield city received by being a Tree City, Brashen said he also wants the township to hold the designation.

“I’m jealous of Canfield city,” he said. “I like what being a Tree City stands for ... to be responsible for your tree population, responsible for how you take care of it. It sounded like valuable thing to get into.”

Brashen said having the designation means the township would be at the top of a long list of Ohio cities and townships hoping to secure grant money.

“It puts us first in line for a certain number of grants above the general public because we’ve proved we’re doing the best we can,” he said.
