FARMINGTON For the 44th consecutive year, Farmington has been named a Tree City USA city.
“All of the credit belongs to the diligent, active members of the Conservation Commission,” Town Manager Richard Davis said in a phone interview Wednesday, June 9. “They’ve done so much over the years, caring for the trees, planting them downtown.”
Four Japanese lilac trees were planted in Farmington last month to replace ones destroyed after being hit by plows. Volunteer Shawn Keenan and Conservation Commission member Jane Woodman are seen with one of the new trees on Main Street.

“We’re one of two towns that have the most years under that program in Maine,” Conservation Commission Chairman Bill Haslam said at the May 11 selectman meeting. “Farmington is the only one that doesn’t have an arborist or dedicated tree staff, it’s all volunteer. We’re pretty proud of that.”
