SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Arbor Day is celebrated nationally on the last Friday of April however the City has the flexibility to
designate whichever day is preferred to celebrate it as a community. For the past three years the Parks &
Recreation Department have partnered with Franz Witte Nursery to hold the official Arbor Day Celebration
on the last Saturday in April at the nursery with a celebration of trees event free to the community. Due to
the status of the COVID-19 situation and the uncertainty around the time frame of this situation the event
has been postponed until we can set a date to safely hold the event.
In an effort to recognize Arbor Day in April the department will continue to work virtually with Franz Witte
Nursery on the release of the Arbor Day Proclamation and online educational information covering tree
care, planting, selection, and the history of Arbor Day in the form of videos and online learning material.
The proclamation is attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Proclaim April 25, 2020 as Arbor Day in the City of McCall and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary
documents.
