DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE Fall is a great time for planting trees!

Trees, including public street trees, are part of Lincoln’s strategy to build a resilient future for our community. Planting trees in the fall allows them to get established in advance of the next growing season.

If you are interested in planting a street tree between the curb and sidewalk in front of your home, contact our office to request a no-cost planting permit and a $250 street tree voucher redeemable at local nurseries (see page 11). The space between the curb and sidewalk should be at least eight feet wide to plant a tree. Our Community Forestry staff will visit the location to determine if it is suitable for planting of a street tree. If so, they will mark the location for the new street tree and provide suggestions regarding selection of the type of tree.

We remind people to call the digger’s hot line to have underground utilities located and marked if they are planning to plant the tree themselves. Visit the Nebraska 811 website at ne1call.com for more information about having underground utilities located.

Get out, have fun, be active! And help build a resilient future for Lincoln by planting and caring for trees!

WHAT IS UNIFIED SPORTS? Dedicated to promoting social inclusion through shared sports training and competition experiences, Unified Sports joins people with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. It was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding.

In Unified Sports, teams are made up of people of similar age and ability, which makes practices more fun and games more challenging and exciting for all. Having sports in common is just one more way that preconceptions and false ideas are swept away.

Our opponent is intolerance. Only shoulder-to-shoulder, as teammates together, can we defeat it. Join and take your place alongside the rest of our global game-changers today.

The Lincoln Shooting Stars team offers opportunities for Unified Sports in basketball, bocce, bowling, flag football, golf, soccer, swimming, track, and volleyball. If you are interested in participating as a Unified Partner in any of these sports, we would love to hear from you!

Call Kerry at (402) 441-7877 or email kzingg@lincoln.ne.gov to learn more about Special Olympics including Unified Sports and other adaptive programs at the Easterday Recreation Center.

COMMUNITY FORESTRY

LINCOLN'S COMMUNITY FORESTRY FUNDAMENTAL TO VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOODS One of the hallmarks of Lincoln’s quality of life is its community forest, which is a prominent feature of its landscape. Our Forestry staff maintains nearly 120,000 public trees throughout the city of Lincoln. Those include areas within our Lincoln Parks, right-of-way, public golf course, and median trees.

A canopy of thousands of trees is showcased in many shades of green in the summer and vivid reds, oranges and yellows of autumn.

It is also an important resource for the health and well-being of our environment and society. Trees lower heating and air conditioning costs, prevent erosion, provide wildlife habitats, reduce storm water runoff, increase property values and make our neighborhoods more livable.

Doing its part to maintain and preserve our priceless community forest, the Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department’s Community Forestry Section is responsible for all city-owned trees. It monitors the planting, pruning and removal of trees on public property, which includes street trees, park and Are you a member of a NA/HOA* golf course trees and trees along our trails. and have ash street trees?

Lincoln's Canopy Street Tree Voucher Program

The Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department offers a cost-share assistance program to property owners in Lincoln who desire to purchase and plant a street tree(s) on the City right-of-way adjacent to their property. The $250 voucher is good toward the purchase and installation of a tree at participating local nurseries. The remaining balance of the cost of the tree and the planting of the tree will be at the homeowner’s expense.

Certain conditions and requirements apply to the street tree voucher program. Call (402) 441-7847, OPT. 0 to submit a request for voucher, or for more information.

Adopt-an-Ash Program

We recognize that some citizens like to have options and be involved in determining the future of public trees near their homes. In that spirit, we are providing an option for those who would like to “adopt” an ash tree in the right-ofway by providing ongoing chemical treatment to minimize damage by Emerald Ash Borer.

Report an issue Property owners may contact our Community Forestry staff at forestry@lincoln.ne.gov or 402 441-7847, opt 0.

Other city issues like graffiti, potholes, and public tree issues may be reported on the UPLNK app and or UPLNK.lincoln.ne.gov.

Learn more about the program and download the permit application at trees.lincoln.ne.gov.

If a property owner wants to have a city tree treated for anything, not just EAB, an "Application for Permit to Treat" is required as directed by Municipal Code 12.20.040.

Lincoln Parks & Recreation • lincoln.ne.gov

Happy Trails to you!

BILLY WOLFF TRAIL

JAYNE SNYDER TRAILS CENTER 250 N. 21st Street

The Jayne Snyder Trails Center is located adjacent to the Billy Wolf / Antelope Valley Trail and in Union Plaza.

It was built with donations from the Great Plains Trails Network and serves as a place to gather for trail users, public gatherings, meetings, receptions, festivals, and related uses.

For rental information, visit hubcafelincoln.com

Built in 1978, this was Lincoln's first trail stretching from Holmes Lake Park to Lincoln's downtown. The trail now follows Antelope Creek from the Devaney Sports Center and University of Nebraska on the north to 91st and Highway2 on the south for a total of 8.5 miles. This trail connects Jayne Snyder Trails Center and Union Plaza near 21st and "Q" streets, Antelope Park filled with ballfields, picnic shelters, playgrounds and Ager Junior Golf Course. The trail also parallels Holmes Lake Park and Golf Course near 70th and Capital Parkway.

BISON TRAIL

It connects with Van Dorn Park near 9th and Van Dorn, Salt Creek Levee and Jamaica North Trail near First and Van Dorn, Wilderness Park near this same location and travels through Bison Park where it connects with Pioneers Park on the west.

This trail will eventually provide a connection to the Haines Branch on Prairie Corridor, a project that is developing a greenway/prairie corridor from Pioneers Park to Denton and Spring Creek Prairie Audubon

DIETRICH TRAIL

Constructed in 1985 this trail is the result of the NE Radial Reuse Project. It extends from 22nd & Holdrege to 48th & Fremont Streets. This trail connects with the Billy Wolff Trail near 17th and Holdrege and proceeds northeasterly to where it connects with the Murdock trail near 48th and Fremont. This trail provides a connection between the downtown UNL Campus and East Campus. It also goes through Lintel and Fleming Fields Recreational Sports Park and Upco Park.

HELEN BOOSALIS TRAIL No bike? No problem! Use BikeLNK! BikeLNK is an automated self-service bicycle rental program for short trips. The system is comprised of more than 100 bicycles, a mix of traditional pedal and e-bike pedal assist, located mainly within the Downtown Lincoln area and on all 3 UNL Campuses.

Named after Mayor Helen Boosalis, it was built as part of a federal highway project in 1980. The trail extends from 17th & Burnham to Old Cheney & Hwy 2. This trail provides connections to the Rock Island and Old Cheney Trails.

JAMAICA NORTH TRAIL

Located on the abandoned Union Pacific Corridor this trail connects the downtown Haymarket / Pinnacle Bank Arena area with rural Nebraska south of Lincoln.

The trail proceeds south through Wilderness Park and then south across Saltillo Road where it becomes the Homestead trail which extends to Beatrice. This trail will eventually continue south of Beatrice in to Kansas.

MOPAC TRAIL

Following the abandoned Missouri Pacific Railroad corridor, the trail begins at the University of Nebraska Campus near 19th and Vine Street, and then proceeds east through Lincoln to 84th Street and the Novartis Trailhead then continues 25 miles to Wabash. The trail passes through Peter Pan Park, McAdams Park, and provides a connection to Bethany Park.

MURDOCK TRAIL

Constructed on former Rock Island right of way, this trail connects with the Dietrich Trail at 48th and Fremont and extends east to 112th streets. The Murdock Trail connects with Mahoney Park and continues east over Stevens Creek to 112th.

ROCK ISLAND TRAIL

Constructed on right of way purchased in 1985, this trail connects the Children's Zoo along Capitol Parkway with Densmore Park south of 14th & Old Cheney. It travels through Antelope Park, Bishop Heights Park, Peterson Park and provides a connection to Tierra Park. It also connects to the Billy Wolff Trail on the north, Boosalis and Tierra/ Williamsburg Trails near Highway 2 and Densmore Park west of south 14th.

SALT CREEK LEVEE TRAIL

This trail follows Salt Creek and the levee that was constructed to protect Lincoln from flooding. It connects with the Jamaica North Trail on the south and Oak Lake Trail and Haymarket Ballpark and Pinnacle Ban Arena on the north.

TIERRA/WILLIAMSBURG TRAIL / SOUTHPOINTE TRAIL

Connecting with the Rock Island Trail, the Tierra/ Williamsburg trail connects with the South Pointe Trail and Pine Lake Trails that go west along Pine Lake to Densmore Park.

Volunteer EVENTS and Programs

BOARDS & COMMITTEES

ADOPT-A-TRAIL, PARK, OR LANDSCAPE

Several community members give back to Lincoln by serving on one of the many volunteer advisory groups, providing guidance to the Department.

The adoption programs of park spaces are a wonderful opportunity for individuals, families, clubs, church groups, and businesses. One to two hours per week commitment are preferred during high use seasons.

Adoption Program Guidelines • Meet with District Supervisor to discuss maintenance needs.

• Pick up litter along entire trail section/within entire park section once per week. (Note, Trails only: City property extends only five (5) feet beyond each side of the path, in most areas.) Do not go beyond the five (5) foot area as it is private property.

• Please put bags in trash receptacles where possible.

• Remove any broken glass, limbs or objects that may impact public safety.

• Report vandalism or repairs as needed to the District Supervisor.

• Maintain landscapes where needed: Examples, cut volunteer trees from stream banks, suckers.
