PROCLAMATION:

ARBOR DAY - Mayor Reina read Arbor Day proclamation. Arbor Day was first observed in Nebraska by J Sterling Morton observed this day by planting more than a million trees. Arbor Day is observed throughout our nation and country. Trees reduce erosion, cut heating and cooling costs, moderate the temperature, clean our air, produce oxygen and provide a habitat for our wildlife. Trees are a renewable resource which supply us with paper, wood for our homes and provides a source of fuel for our fires and numerous wood products. Trees increase our property values, beautify our communities, and provide us with joy and spiritual renewal. Mayor Michael Reina proclaimed April 28, 2018 Arbor Day to urge all residents to support the protection of our trees and woodlands and to preserve our township’s forestry programs.
