PROCLAMATION NO.2005 -04
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
this holiday,called Arbor Day,was first observed with the planting of more than a
million trees in Nebraska,and
2005 is the 133nd anniversary of the holiday and Arbor Day is now observed
throughout the nation and the world,and
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
trees are a renewable resource giving us paper,wood for our homes,fuel for our
fires,and beautify our community,and
trees,wherever they are planted,are a source of joy and spiritual renewal.
Now,Therfore,I,SCOTT SMITH,Mayor of the Town of Trophy Club,Texas,do hereby
proclaim April 23,2005 as the 1330danniversary celebration of
Arbor Day
In the Town of Trophy Club,and I urge all citizens to celebrate Arbor Day and to support efforts
to protect our trees and woodlands,and
Further,I urge all citizens to plant trees to gladde
this and future generations.
Dated this 2nd day of May 2005.
