CITY OF NAPA
PROCLAMATION
ARBOR DAY
October 5, 2024
Whereas, the City of Napa takes great pride in the many trees that bring so many 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 whenever 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 Saturday October 5, 2024, as Arbor Day in the City of Napa and celebrate the day by planting new trees at Kennedy Park.
