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, 2404 is the 132nd anniversary of the holiday and 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 beautify our community, and
Whereas, trees, wherever they are planted, are a source of joy and spiritual renewal.
