DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE It's Summer! Get Out, Be Active, and Have Fun! Time spent outdoors not only feels good, it is good for you.

WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE NEW

FUNdamental website

parks.lincoln.ne.gov

Studies show that regularly spending time outdoors relieves anxiety and stress, improves mood, promotes wellbeing and increases physical health. As little as 20 minutes in the outdoors can be beneficial. The biggest drop in stress hormone occurs within the first 20 to 30 minutes of being outside in nature. So, we hope that you and your family will make regular time at Lincoln’s parks and trails part of your healthy lifestyle.

Get outside. Be Active. Have fun!

Established in 2000, the Nature Preschool at Pioneers Park Nature Center engages children in nature while learning shapes, colors, numbers, and letters. The curriculum is planned around children’s curiosity and wonder of the landscape and wildlife at the Nature Center to deepen knowledge of Nebraska wildlife and foster a love of learning and appreciation for nature.

The Preschool for ages 3-4, is play-based in which children learn by doing: hiking, climbing, digging, building, and being outdoors. Daily activities include: hikes, story time, pretend play, art, music & movement, block play, and group discussions. The PreK program for ages 4-5, builds upon the preschool curriculum with opportunities for letter recognition, printing, math skills, and journaling.

FORESTRY

Lincoln Parks & Recreation • lincoln.ne.gov

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 golf course trees and trees along our trails.

For more information about our Community Forestry section visit parks.lincoln.ne.gov. For service calls regarding public trees please call (402) 441-7847, OPT. 0.

Are you a member of a NA/HOA* and have ash street trees?

If yes, call Adam Klingenberg, aklingenberg@lincoln.ne.gov, (402) 441-8269 for information on City assistance. *Neighborhood Association (NA), Homeowner’s Association (HOA)

y p o n a C 's n l Linco 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-of-way by providing ongoing chemical treatment to minimize damage
