Title
Proclamation Honoring National Public Lands
History
Mayor Pekau proclaims September 26, 2020, as National Public Lands Day in the Village of Orland Park.
Public lands provide locally accessible natural and cultural resources for environmental learning, wildlife appreciation and recreation. Land conservation efforts improve access to public lands by urban residents and work to break down the barriers that prevent Americans from actively utilizing their public lands.
Mayor Pekau and the Village Board of Trustees thank the Open Lands Commission for bringing open lands to all Orland Park residents in order to enjoy their beauty and significance.
