PROCLAMATION
"ARBOR DAY"
April 29, 2022
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, Paul Wm. Hoefert, Mayor of the Village of Mount Prospect, do
hereby proclaim Friday, April 29, 2022 as
"ARBOR DAY"
in the Village of Mount Prospect and I urge all citizens to observe Arbor Day by
planting, preserving and maintaining trees, and by attending the ceremonial tree
planting at Saint Paul Lutheran School, 18 S. School Street, on Friday April 29, 2022

Paul Wm. Hoefert
