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.
