Mayor Bailey proclaims Arbor Day on April 25 in Loveland

The Loveland City Council meeting on April 22, 2025, highlighted a significant proclamation as Mayor Kathy Bailey declared April 25, 2025, as Arbor Day in the city. This announcement, supported by John Robinson, chair of the Tree and Environment Committee, emphasized the importance of trees in combating climate change, enhancing property values, and beautifying the community. Mayor Bailey urged all citizens to celebrate Arbor Day and support efforts to protect local trees and woodlands.

In a heartfelt moment, a representative from the local brewery expressed gratitude for community support and encouraged more residents to participate in brewery events. The meeting also featured a report from Kaya Bergen, branch manager of the Loveland Library, who thanked residents for their advocacy regarding library funding. Bergen noted that while a proposed budget adjustment removed a per capita funding element, the library still faces a significant shortfall compared to the governor's proposal.

The discussions underscored the community's commitment to environmental stewardship and the importance of local advocacy in securing essential services. As Arbor Day approaches, Loveland residents are encouraged to engage with their environment and support local initiatives.
