Published on October 5, 2022
Climate change is here. In Iowa we have witnessed more frequent and intense heavy precipitation, floods, droughts, and powerful derechos – all of which create conditions that threaten our trees. The Iowa Climate Statement 2022: The Many Benefits of Our Trees released Oct. 5 is focused on the climate threats and strategies to expand and support urban trees and rural woodlands.
The Iowa Climate Statement 2022 was endorsed by 203 science faculty and researchers from 33 Iowa colleges and universities, including faculty from the UI College of Public Health.
