To showcase this service for years to come, trees have been planted on the City Square in each couples honor.

In a letter to Mayor Ruth P. Maughan, Richard J. Buehler, the Utah State Forester, stated “The National Arbor Day Foundation has recognized Wellsville as a Tree City USA for the 21st time. Citizens can take pride in this designation and know that efforts are being made to grow a healthy tree resource in their community which will benefit generations to come. The influence of a healthy community forest to the environment and citizens of your community is significant”.
