SUBJECT: Proclamation Declaring Wednesday, April 20, 2022, as Arbor Day in the City of Commerce Meeting Date: April 12, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
With the consent of the City Council, the Mayor will proclaim Wednesday, April 20, 2022, as Arbor Day in the City of Commerce.
ANALYSIS:
In a nationwide effort to encourage planting of shade and forest trees; harvesting of forest crops by approved conservation methods; and protection of forests from the scourge of devastating fires, insects and disease that destroy the beauty and usefulness of woodlands and wildlife, California State Legislature adopted an Act for the designation of Arbor Day. This Legislative Act encourages the participation of local governments to recognize and celebrate Arbor Day each year.
This year, the City will proclaim Wednesday, April 20, 2022, as Arbor Day in the City of Commerce. Everyone capable of doing so is urged to observe this day by planting one or more trees and by participating in one or more programs offered by sponsors of Arbor Day.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the annual Arbor Day Celebrations were not be held at the local schools (Rosewood Park School and Bandini Elementary School) this year, however, the City looks forward to having the schools participate next year.
