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 will hold its Arbor <br /> Day Celebration at the Alviso Adobe on April 27, 2019. This proclamation is required in <br /> 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 <br /> communities have achieved "Tree City USA" status. This year, the City of Pleasanton <br /> will celebrate Arbor Day on April 27 to coincide with National Arbor Day celebrations. <br /> The event is advertised through the Library and Recreation Department's Activities <br /> Guide, on the City's website, and on social media. The celebration will take place at the <br /> Alviso Adobe from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and includes a pruning demonstration, tree <br /> giveaway and educational activities and games. <br /> Submitted by: Approved by: <br /> Stephen Kirkpatrick Nelson Fialho <br /> Director of Engineering City Manager <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1.
