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, 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 countless other wood products, and
Whereas. trees in our city increase property values, enhance the economic vitality of business
areas, and beautify our community, and
Whereas, trees, wherever they are planted, are a source of joy and spiritual renewal.
