ARBOR DAY
A PROCLAMATION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF TROPHY
CLUB, TEXAS, TO RECOGNIZE APRIL 25TH, 2009 AS ARBOR DAY;
RECOGNIZING THAT 2009 IS THE 137th ANNIVERSARY OF THE HOLIDAY
OF ARBOR DAY; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
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, 2009 is the 13ih anniversary of the holiday and Arbor Day is
now observed throughout the nation and the world, and
Whereas, 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 life-giving oxygen, and provide habitat for wildlife, and
Whereas, trees are a renewable resource giving us paper, wood for our
homes, fuel for our fires, and beautify our community, and
Whereas, trees, wherever they are planted, are a source of joy and
spiritual renewal.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF
THE TOWN OF TROPHY CLUB, TEXAS:
Section 1. In the Town of Trophy Club, the Mayor and Council urge all
citizens to celebrate Arbor Day and to support efforts to protect our trees and
woodlands, and
Section 2. The Mayor and Council urge all citizens to plant trees to
gladden the heart and promote the well-being of this and future generations.
That this Proclamation shall become effective from and after its date of
passage in accordance with law. CA/S~~
