City proclaims March 9 as Arbor Day

Recognizing the vital role trees play in our community, the Carpinteria City Council has proclaimed March 9 as California Arbor Day. This proclamation falls within California Arbor Week, March 7-14, and precedes National Arbor Day on April 25.

The City acknowledges the immense contributions trees make to beauty, comfort, air quality, and energy conservation. Carpinteria’s commitment to tree preservation is evident in our policies like the establishment of the Tree Advisory Board.

The proclamation, issued by Mayor Natalia Alarcon with the unanimous support of the City Council, urges all Carpinterians to appreciate and celebrate the importance of trees in our daily lives.
