"ARBOR DAY"
April 24, 2020
WHEREAS, in 1872 J. Sterling Morton proposed to the Nebraska Board of Agriculture that a special
day be set aside for the planting of trees; and
WHEREAS, this holiday, called Arbor Day, was first observed with the planting of more than a million
trees in Nebraska; and
WHEREAS, Arbor Day is now observed throughout the nation and the world; and
WHEREAS, trees can cut heating and cooling costs, clean the air, provide habitat for wildlife, beautify
our community, slow stormwater runoff and produce life-giving oxygen; and
WHEREAS, trees are a renewable resource giving us paper, food, wood for our homes and fuel for
our fires; and
WHEREAS, the Village of Mount Prospect has a long history of planting and caring for our
community's trees; and
NOW, THEREFORE, 1, Arlene A. Juracek, Mayor of the Village of Mount Prospect, do hereby
proclaim Friday, April 24, 2020 as
"ARBOR DAY"
in the Village of Mount Prospect and 1 urge all citizens to observe Arbor Day by planting, preserving
and maintaining trees throughout the year.
