SRES 657 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution celebrating the 152nd anniversary of Arbor Day.

This is a ceremonial Senate resolution (SRES 657) that formally recognizes April 26, 2024, as National Arbor Day and celebrates its 152th anniversary. It does not create new laws or affect specific groups - it simply acknowledges the historical significance of Arbor Day, which began in 1872 as a day to promote tree planting and environmental stewardship. The resolution encourages all Americans to participate in Arbor Day activities, such as community tree-planting events, to support urban forestry and sustainable forest management. As a procedural resolution, it has no legal effect beyond expressing the Senate's support for this annual observance.
