What is a Gold Leaf Award?
The ISA Gold Leaf Award is designed to recognize an individual, organization, or community in the
New England Chapter for outstanding Arbor Day programs or community landscape beautification
projects. This is an opportunity for the NEC-ISA to recognize projects that have had an impact on a
community or region with an international award. Projects should show an impact over several
years. Nominations for the award can be made in either of the following two categories.
Outstanding Arbor Day Activities - An award to recognize individuals, organizations, or
municipalities that have promoted Arbor Day through special projects, ceremonies, news articles or
observations with an Arbor Day theme.
Outstanding Landscape Beautification Activities - An award to recognize individuals,
organizations, or municipalities that have made significant contributions through tree planting and
landscaping which enhances environmental protection, conservation, beautification, air purification,
or wildlife protection. Could also be for non-planting landscape activities that have had a positive
impact in promoting tree care and tree preservation.
