At the Town Council meeting on April 3, 2018, Mayor Green read two proclamations. The first proclamation sponsored by Castle Rock Water proclaimed April 2018 as Water Conservation month and the Mayor's Challenge for Water Conservation, to increase awareness and encourage further action for water conservation. The second proclamation was sponsored by the Castle Rock Parks and Recreation department, and proclaims April 20, 2018 as Arbor Day. Students from both Douglas County High School and Castle View High School attended to raise awareness of the "Pause for a Cause", a student campaign and effort to unite students and the community around a common goal which benefits the community and the environment.
