SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Arbor Day is celebrated nationally on the last Friday of April. In the past years the Parks & Recreation Department has 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 last two years we transitioned
to a virtual event with live story read and educational series on media for youth and adults.
To recognize Arbor Day in April on Saturday the 30th the department will return to our prior event format partnered with Franz Witte, Idaho Power, McCall Library, and other non-profits.
Activities will include a live reading, educational material covering tree care, planting, selection, and the history of Arbor Day staff or volunteers will handout free tree seedlings.
Event will be outside with COVID-19 precautions in place.
The proclamation is attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Proclaim April 30, 2022 as Arbor Day in the City of McCall and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
