RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING ARBOR DAY

WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
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
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 reduce the erosion of our precious
topsoil by wind and water, cut heating and cooling
costs, moderate the temperature, clean the air,
produce oxygen and provide 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, and
Lino Lakes has been recognized as a Tree City USA
by The National Arbor Day Foundation and desired to
continue its tree -planting ways,
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Harold L. Bisel, Mayor of the City of Lino
Lakes, do hereby proclaim April 21, 1990 as
ARBOR DAY
in the City of Lino Lakes, and I urge all citizens
to support efforts to protect our trees and
woodlands and to support out city's urban forestry
program, and
FURTHER, I urge all citizens to plant trees to gladden the
hearts and promote the well-being of present and
future generations.
Adopted by the Lino Lakes Council this 9th d.y of April,
1990.
