To celebrate, Col. Todd Moore, 21st Space Wing commander, and Chief Master Sgt. Jacob Simmons, 21 SW command chief received the Tree City USA Annual Growth Award, at the wing headquarters building. Andy Schlosberg, Colorado State Forest Services forester, presented the award to Moore, Simmons, and Dan Rodriguez, 21st Civil Engineer Squadron deputy base civil engineer and children from the R.P.

The Tree City USA program began in 1976, and is a nationwide program that provides guidance for communities to manage and expand its public tree populations. (U.S. Air Force photos by 2nd Lt.
