Arbor Day Ceremony Slated in Pittsfield - April 23, 2008
PITTSFIELD – The city of Pittsfield will hold an Arbor Day Ceremony at noon on Friday, April 25, on the front steps of City Hall.
The free event is being sponsored by the Department of Community Development, Retired Seniors and Volunteers Program, and the Hebert Arboretum.
"This year we celebrate the 136th Arbor Day. For the occasion two trees will be planted in front of City Hall," said Mayor James M. Ruberto. "This year also brings the creation of the city of Pittsfield's Green Commission, which will advise and recommend ways the City can reduce our carbon footprint, increase recycling, encourage sustainable construction, and become an incubator for new green technologies."
The theme of this year’s ceremony is "Go Green." James McGrath, the city's park, open space and natural resource program manager, will be the emcee and give a brief history of Arbor Day.
City Councilor and Green Commission member Michael Ward will read a proclamation and speak about "Going Green" and the Green Commission. Jamie Cahillane, the Center for Ecological Technology’s director of recycling services, will be the keynote speaker.
For further information, contact McGrath at 413-499-9344. |
