Why Tree Preservation Is More Important than Ever in Cedar Rapids
In August 2020, Cedar Rapids experienced a devastating derecho that wiped out more than 65% of the city's tree canopy. This event highlighted just how important our trees are to our community. By preserving the trees we have left, we can:
Keep our neighborhoods beautiful and green
Maintain shade that helps cool our homes and reduce energy costs
Protect habitats for local wildlife
Improve air quality in our city
Prevent soil erosion and help manage stormwater
Although extensive efforts are still underway to plant new trees across the city, it will take decades to get our beloved tree canopy back. That’s why it’s so important to protect the few remaining mature trees left along our roads and in our yards.
