Gates County Administrator Observance and Proclamation of Friday, April 28, 2017, as National Arbor Day in Roanoke County BACKGROUND: The Arbor Day Foundation has named Roanoke County a 2016 Tree City USA Community for its commitment to effective urban forestry management. It is the nineteenth year that Roanoke County has earned this honor from the Arbor Day Foundation, the nation's largest nonprofit organization dedicated to planting trees. The Tree City USA program is sponsored in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service. Roanoke County retained its Tree City USA designation by meeting the program's following four requirements: ❑ a tree board or department; ❑ a tree -care ordinance; ❑ an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita; and ❑ an annual Arbor Day observance and proclamation. The funding for this year's Roanoke County's Arbor Day planting is provided through the Virginia Trees for Clean Water matching grant program, in partnership with the Virginia Department of Forestry and the Roanoke Valley -Alleghany Regional Commission. The Virginia Department of Forestry has developed the Virginia Trees for Clean Water program to improve water quality across the Commonwealth of Virginia through efforts to plant trees. The grants awarded through this program encourage local government and citizen involvement in creating and supporting long-term and sustained tree canopy Page 1 of 2 cover. Arbor Day celebrations enables local governments to raise public awareness about the benefits of planting trees for the health of our streams and river. DISCUSSION: Roanoke County will observe Arbor Day on Friday, April 28, 2017 with a celebration at Green Valley Elementary School. The celebration will consist of a ceremonial tree planting, a presentation by State foresters on the importance of trees, and a program by students from the elementary school. Roanoke County encourages residents, businesses, and organizations to plant a tree in the community in honor of National Arbor Day. Cleaner air, improved storm water management, energy savings, and increased property values are among the benefits enjoyed by Tree City USA communities. FISCAL IMPACT: The Virginia Trees for Clean Water program is a 50/50 matching grant with funds awarded on a reimbursement basis. Overhead costs for administering the grant will be incurred by the Roanoke Valley -Alleghany Regional Commission. Roanoke County's contribution will be in the form of in-kind services.
