Mayor Becker proclaims Arbor Week in Westminster to promote tree planting

The City of Westminster Mayor and Common Council meeting on March 24, 2025, highlighted the importance of environmental stewardship with the proclamation of Arbor Week, set to take place from April 21 to April 27. Mayor Becker emphasized the significance of trees in enhancing the community's sustainability, noting their role in reducing soil erosion, improving air quality, and providing habitats for wildlife. The mayor urged residents to participate in Arbor Day activities on April 20, which will include tree planting events aimed at fostering a greener environment for Westminster and beyond.

In addition to the Arbor Week proclamation, the council approved the minutes from the previous meeting held on March 10, ensuring transparency and continuity in their proceedings. The council also moved forward with three items on the consent calendar, which were approved without discussion, indicating a smooth operational flow for the council.

These discussions reflect the council's commitment to both environmental initiatives and effective governance, aligning with broader community goals of sustainability and engagement. As the city prepares for Arbor Week, residents are encouraged to take part in the upcoming tree planting events, contributing to the beautification and ecological health of Westminster.
