WHEREAS
in 1872, the Nebraska Board of Agriculture established a special day to be set
aside for the planting of trees, and
this holiday, called Arbor Day, was first observed with the planting of more than
a million trees in Nebraska, and
Arbor Day is now observed throughout the nation and the world, and
trees can be a solution to combating climate change by reducing the erosion of
our precious topsoil by wind and water, cutting heating and cooling costs,
moderating the temperature, cleaning the air, producing life-giving oxygen, and
providing habitat for wildlife, and
trees are a renewable resource giving us paper, wood for our homes, fuel for our
fires, and countless other wood products, and
trees in our city increase property values, enhance the economic vitality of
business areas, and beautify our community, and
trees — wherever they are planted — are a source of joy and spiritual renewal.
NOW, THEREFORE, I Robert S. Giles, Mayor of the City of McCall, with the consent
of the City Council, do herebyproclaim Saturday, April 27, 2024 as
