COOS BAY CITY COUNCIL RECOGNIZES ARBOR DAY AND NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK At its meeting on April 21, 2026, the Coos Bay City Council unanimously passed two resolutions recognizing Arbor Day and National Volunteer Week, highlighting the community’s commitment to environmental stewardship and civic engagement. The Arbor Day proclamation was read by Council President Lucinda DiNovo, while the National Volunteer Week proclamation was presented by Councilor Troy Cribbins. Coos Bay has a long-standing tradition of environmental leadership and has been recognized as a Tree City USA for 30 years, reflecting the City’s ongoing dedication to urban forestry and the many benefits trees provide—ranging from improved air quality and reduced energy costs to enhanced beauty and economic vitality. The National Volunteer Week proclamation recognizes April 19–25, 2026, as a time to celebrate the individuals who generously give their time and talents to strengthen the community. This year’s observance is especially meaningful as it aligns with the nationwide “America Gives” initiative, encouraging volunteer service in honor of the United States’ upcoming 250th anniversary. Mayor Joe Benetti shared his appreciation for the community’s volunteers, stating: “I just want to mention and thank all the 170 volunteers mentioned in the proclamation—170. Without these volunteers, we could not operate this city in the fashion we do. So, it's greatly appreciated. We also have groups and organizations on top of that that volunteer and help do many things throughout the city. Again, without their help and assistance, we wouldn't be able to have the city and be proud of what we have. So, I am honored and proud to have the volunteers that we have, so I wanted to thank you personally.” From advisory boards and local programs to emergency services and community initiatives, volunteers play an essential role in maintaining the quality of life in Coos Bay. Their dedication continues to strengthen the fabric of the community and inspire others to get involved. Residents are encouraged to celebrate both observances by planting trees, supporting local environmental efforts, and finding ways to volunteer in honor of this milestone year for the nation.
