BACKGROUND <br /> The City successfully applied for the "Tree City USA" designation in December of 2016 <br /> and received the designation in February 2017. This year Pleasanton held its Arbor Day <br /> Celebration at the Alviso Adobe on April 28, 2018. This proclamation is to follow-up on <br /> the celebration in order to maintain the City's designation as a Tree City USA city. <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 celebrated Arbor <br /> Day on April 28th to coincide with National Arbor Day celebrations. The event was <br /> advertised through Community Services' Activities Guide, on the website, and on Patch. <br /> The celebration took place at the Alviso Adobe from 11:00 am — 12:30 pm and included <br /> a pruning demonstration, tree walk and educational activities and games. <br /> Submitted by: Approved by: <br /> 11° /(14Stephen liF•atrick Nelson Fialho <br /> Director of Engineering City Manager <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br />
