BACKGROUND <br /> Although the City adopted its Heritage Tree Ordinance in 1971, this will be the first year <br /> that the City will be celebrating Arbor Day as an official "Tree City USA" City. The City <br /> successfully applied for Tree City USA designation in December of 2016 and received <br /> the designation in February 2017. In honor of Arbor Day, this year the City will hold an <br /> Arbor Day Celebration at the Alviso Adobe on April 29, 2017. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> Tree City USA is a nationwide program administered by the Arbor Day Foundation, and <br /> in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service, which recognizes cities who are committed <br /> to their urban forest. The program began in 1976 and today more than 3,400 communities <br /> have achieved Tree City USA status. This year the City of Pleasanton will be celebrating <br /> Arbor Day on April 29th to coincide with National Arbor Day. The celebration will take place <br /> at the Alviso Adobe from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and will include a tree planting, <br /> educational activities and games. <br /> Submitted by: Approve y: <br /> Stephen KiekOtrick Nelson Fialho <br /> Director of Engineering City Manager <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br />
