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 be a solution to combating climate change by reducing the erosion of our precious topsoil
by wind and water, cutting heating and cooling costs, moderating the temperature, cleaning the air, producing
life-giving oxygen, and providing habitat for wildlife, and

other wood products, and

proclaim the April 24t'', 2026, as Arbor Day and I urge all citizens to celebrate Arbor Day and to support efforts
to protect our trees and woodlands. Further, I urge all citizens to plant trees to gladden the heart and promote
the well-being of this and future generations
