The Douglas County Board of Commissioners issued a proclamation at their weekly meeting on Wednesday calling upon residents to observe Parks Appreciation Week through Sunday.

Commissioner Chris Boice said “We recognize that Douglas County is home to some of the most beautiful places on Earth, places that inspire us, captivate us, and fill us with a great sense of pride”.

This week the Commissioners are celebrating the men and women who work diligently to preserve, beautify and manage the 100 plus local, county, tribal, state and national parks, trails and recreational sites available in the county. Proclamation certificates were presented to directors and staff from several parks departments, boards and related organizations.
