Iowa City named Tree City USA once more

Iowa City has once again been named a 2020 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation in honor of its commitment to effective urban forest management.  The Arbor Day Foundation is a million-member nonprofit conservation and education organization with the mission to inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees.  Iowa City achieved its 41st Tree City USA recognition by meeting the program's four requirements: a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita, and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. The Arbor Day Proclamation will be recognized during the City Council Meeting, on Tuesday, April 20, 2021.  In addition to the Tree City USA designation, Forestry staff member Rae Lynn Schepers, who has over 33 years of forestry experience in Iowa City, has been awarded an Outstanding Professional award from the Iowa Urban Tree Council. Trees provide multiple benefits to a community when properly planted and maintained. They help to improve the visual appeal of a neighborhood, increase property values, reduce home cooling costs, remove air pollutants and provide wildlife habitat, among many other benefits. Increasing our tree canopy with diverse species, will help us reach our Climate action goals. More information on the program is available at www.arborday.org/TreeCityUSA.

Iowa City Parks and Recreation receive STMA Environmental Certification

An Environmentally Responsible Management certification has been earned by the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department from the Sports Turf Managers Association (STMA.) This achievement is a credit to the parks and forestry staff who have established environmental best practices throughout three outdoor sports facilities, Iowa City Kickers Soccer Complex, Napoleon Softball Complex, and Mercer Park ball diamonds. The certification is valid for three years and was awarded to each facility when they achieved a minimum of 80% compliance in each of the 10 categories that were evaluated. Following the compliance assessment, a walk-through of the facilities was performed to validate the environmental practices in place.  There are currently only 43 facilities worldwide that have achieved the Environmentally Responsible Management certification. This certification supports Iowa City's Climate Action Goals.
