| What is a Gold Leaf Award? The 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. Know of someone in your community?
