Coeur d'Alene has met requirements to be a Tree City USA for 42 years, obtaining recognition in 1984.

To become a Tree City USA, a community must meet four standards: a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program, and an Arbor Day observance. The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the National Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service. Coeur d’Alene’s Urban Forestry program continues to recognize the commitment to quality tree care.
