PROCLAMATION
ARBOR DAY
November 14, 2023
Whereas, the City of Napa takes great pride in the many trees that bring unlimited benefits to our community, including our schools, parks and neighborhoods; and Whereas, trees can reduce stormwater runoff, reduce soil erosion, reduce atmospheric pollutants, reduce the effects of climate change, filter particulates from the air and provide habitat and food for wildlife; and Whereas, the community continues to place great importance in the planting, care and preservation of trees throughout the City of Napa; and WHEREAS, trees reduce stress levels and mental fatigue, while increasing property values, trees beautify our community, and bring a source of joy and spiritual renewal wherever they are planted.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that I, Scott Sedgley, Mayor of the City of Napa, along with the Napa City Council, do hereby proclaim November 14, 2023, as Arbor Day in the City of Napa and will celebrate by planting new trees at Harkness Park.
