Arbor Day proclamation
Item Number: 2.a.
City of Iowa City
PROCLAMATION
Whereas, the coming of Spring produces a renewal of interest in tree planting for
beauty, shade, conservation, and many other purposes beneficial to all people; and
Whereas, the observation of Arbor Day has long been characterized by the planting
and preservation of trees; and
Whereas, trees in Iowa City beautify our community, increase property values, reduce
pollution, lower energy costs, and enhance the economic vitality of business areas; and
Whereas, because trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, having a diverse
and healthy tree population constitutes a major part of Iowa City's effort to mitigate
against climate change; and
Whereas, trees can provide natural air conditioning; the evaporation from a single
tree can produce the cooling effect of 10 room size air conditioners operating 20 hours
a day; and
Whereas, evergreen trees can be used to reduce wind speed and thus loss of heat
from our homes in the winter by as much as 10 to 50 percent.
Now, therefore, I, Bruce Teague, Mayor of Iowa City, do hereby proclaim
April 29, 2022, to be
Arbor Day
in Iowa City, and I hereby urge all citizens to participate in tree planting and preservation
projects throughout the year.
